The Penn State women's gymnastics team showed off for the home crowd one last time this year. Once again the Nittany Lions used great beam and floor routines to pull away from Rutgers, Temple and William & Mary.

They scored a 49.200 on beam, a season high, and a 48.925 on floor to finish with a total team score of 195.500.

"I was a little disappointed with some of the scores and the judging," Penn State coach Steve Shephard said.

On vault four gymnasts stuck their landings and had good vaults but scores for the four ranged from 9.575-9.775. Lisa Clark scored the 9.775 to win the vault competition. Despite some low scores, Penn State still took the first four spots.

Corissa Pirkl finished first overall on beam with a 9.875 as the Lions took the first four spots in the competition.

Kristal Uzelac finished first in the all-around with a 39.300 and Clark finished second with a 39.075.

During the second rotation, Penn State was on bars. Uzelac scored a 9.900 to finish first in the competition. Penn State scored a 48.800 overall on bars. Senior bars specialist Cecile Allen scored a 9.875, tying her career high and good enough for second place behind Uzelac.

"I was really happy to end on a good note," Allen said. "It was my first stick at home this year."

Allen also won the Ann Carr award on Senior Night.

The Lions finished on what Clark says is "pretty much everyone's favorite event," the floor exercise. Even though it wasn't the high score of the night, it might have been the best event. The top five spots in the event all went to Penn State. Clark scored a 9.875 to finish No. 1. She was followed by Uzelac, Jennifer Orlando, Pirkl and Hoover. They scored a team total of 48.925.

Hoover was injured during pre-meet warm-ups. She hit her head with her leg and fell on her neck and developed a hematoma on her leg. It affected her during the meet as she fell off the beam and also on bars. It isn't expected to be a long-term problem.

At the end of night seniors Kate Stopper and Allen were honored for their time at Penn State. Both were presented with a blanket and a handshake from Penn State president Graham Spanier.

Penn State will now begin its postseason play as it has Big Ten Championships and Northeast Regionals.

"We just need to stay the course," Shephard said. "The goal is to keep everyone healthy and focused."
