It wasn't Halloween, but the Penn State women's gymnastics team must have let someone else dress up and take its place. It was not the same team that scored so well a week ago against Maryland.

Penn State beat New Hampshire, Cornell and Missouri Saturday at Rec Hall, with a score of 193.575, but it was an uncharacteristically sloppy win.

"We had some strange mistakes," Penn State coach Steve Shephard said. "That was not my team out there."

Freshman Lindsay Borkan finished first in the all-around with a score of 38.775, her lowest score since the Super Six Challenge one month ago. She placed first on the bars with a 9.750. Junior Meredith Hoover finished fourth with a 38.325, tying her lowest all-around score of the season. The entire event was tightly scored for everyone.

The bright spot for the Lions was the floor exercise. They scored a 49.025 on the event, the highest score given on any single event for the night. Junior Lisa Clark, who scored a 9.900 on the floor, the highest individual score given, led Penn State. Borkan, Hoover, Senior Kate Stopper and junior Jennifer Orlando followed Clark as Penn State claimed the top five spots on the floor.

"The floor is my favorite event," Clark said. "I just try to go out and please the crowd, judges and my team."

Penn State started the night on vault and looked shaky to begin the evening. Sophomore Amie Olaes paced the Lions with a 9.775. Borkan, Hoover, Clark, Stopper and Orlando followed her up in placing for the Lions. Landings on the vault were an issue, as several of the gymnasts had trouble. Freshman Aslynn Satterfield did a good job with her vault, albeit an exhibition vault that didn't count toward the team score.

The second rotation found the Lions on bars and they claimed the top three spots in the event. Hoover and Clark tied for second behind Borkan, with scores of 9.725. Junior Michelle Ilg (9.650) was fourth and sophomore Corissa Pirkl (9.55) was fifth for Penn State. Senior Cecile Allen, normally a top finisher for Penn State, ended up 20th in the event after falling on her landing, something that doesn't happen often for her as she only competes on bars.

Sophomore Ashley Meher fell off the beam during her routine as did Hoover. Borkan almost fell off twice, but recovered enough to stay on, and sophomore Genavieve Shingle nearly fell off.

Stopper (9.750) led the way, followed by Pirkl (9.675), Shingle (9.550), Borkan (9.475) and Hoover (9.075). Clark and sophomore Stephanie Sullivan, seeing action for the first time this season, did well with their exhibition routines. They would have placed third and fourth, respectively, if the scores counted.
