One of the true dynasties in college sports --the defending national champion University of Georgia Lady Bulldogs Gymnastics Team -- will invade Rec Hall at 5 p.m. Sunday, but senior co-captain Coby Silver said her Lady Lions are not concerned.

"Georgia will be Georgia," the Lake Hiawatha, N.J., native said. "But we want to concentrate on ourselves. We want to do it for ourselves and for our fans."

The Lady Lions, who finished last season ranked No. 11 nationally, have an opportunity to gain a measure of revenge against a Georgia juggernaut that knocked them off twice last season. In February, the Lady Lions ventured into the 'Dawg Pound and were done in by a 197.55-193.15 score. In April, the Lady 'Dawgs once again sank their teeth into the Lady Lions -- and the other 10 teams at the meet -- at the NCAA Championships, where they racked up a meet-record 198 points.

But Lady Lions' second-year head coach Steve Shephard echoed Silver's sentiments, saying revenge is not foremost in his mind.

"We're looking to see that everybody stays healthy," the former marathon runner said. "We're not going to be at full difficulty yet. We're looking to walk away and fight another day."

Sunday will also mark the beginning of the final season of one of the Lady Lions' greatest gymnasts ever: senior co-captain and former All-American April Polito.

Polito -- who, along with junior Kerry Slattery, will be called on to participate in all four events -- said Sunday's meet is not so much Penn State trying to beat Georgia, but Lady Lion gymnasts trying to do their best.

"We haven't really thought about it as a team," the all-arounder from Pittsburgh said, "more so as how we will do ourselves."

Another key part of the Lady Lions, and someone Shephard will be watching closely, is junior Tracy Kerner, who will make her first appearance since major knee surgery over a year ago.

Kerner, who said her health is "great," expects both teams to put on quite a show Sunday night.

"I'm sure (Georgia is) ready for the meet, but so are we, we've been training hard," the nutrition major said.

Georgia certainly will be ready, as they have always been during the 10-year reign of head coach Suzanne Yoculan, the defending NCAA coach of the year.

During her decade-long tenure, the Lady 'Dawgs have compiled a 179-29-1 record and three NCAA Championships, while Yoculan herself has twice been honored as national coach of the year.
