Even with the vibrant crowd, the WPSU cameras and both Penn State and Ohio State men's teams sharing the home turf, the Penn State women's gymnastics team kept focus and showed the lady Buckeyes who is No. 1 in the Big Ten.

Penn State recorded a season-high team score while defeating conference rival Ohio State 196.450-194.825 during a televised co-ed dual meet on Saturday night. Along with the win, the team walked away with all four titles, three scores in the 9.900s and a season high in the floor exercise. With Big Tens now in sight, the team believes that it is finally starting to mold together and perform like it is meant to.

"We're definitely starting to come together and this is good because the season is flying by," co-captain Corissa Pirkl said. "Everyone is doing so much better with the little things and that's why we're showing it in our scoring."

Penn State showed its team unity in the floor exercise scoring a season high of 49.275, with Brandi Personett taking the title with a career-high of 9.950. Aslynn Satterfield came in second place with a season-high of 9.900. Personett said she was very happy with her performance and very proud of her team, especially Aslynn in particular. Aslynn recently returned from a wrist injury a few weeks ago.

"[Aslynn] has put in a lot of hard work and extra time into getting back into routine shape," Personett said. "I think her return is a big reason for our recent success on floor."

With a correct prediction of scoring in the 196s, Coach Steve Shephard said he was pleased with the floor exercise score and with most other performances. However, Shephard still feels the team could improve in the vault and uneven bars. Although the mistakes are small deductions, they could add up later during the championship season.

"We still didn't stick our vaults. We really need to get those landings," Shephard said. "In the bars we struggled a little bit. Alex [Brockway] messed up her one-and-half pirouette and even though she didn't get much of a deduction, it's one of those things where we look at it and say, that's not right."

Even though Brockway had a few small slip-ups in the bars, she still managed to place third with a 9.850. She also took the title in the vault with a 9.850. She said she had difficulties in the bars during practice last week, but she still knows how to compensate for her mistakes in situations like this weekend.

Above Brockway, Katie Perret gained her fifth title in the bars, sharing the crown with Ohio State's Kaylan Clevinger, both scoring a 9.900. There were four ties in the event with Pirkl tying for fourth with a 9.825, Amie Olaes tying for seventh with a 9.800 and Lindsay Borkan tying for ninth with a 9.775.

Although Borkan fell in the beam, the team still swept the event. Co-captain Stephanie Sullivan won her fifth title with a 9.875, Personett took second with a 9.850, Perret came in third with 9.825 and freshman Casey Rohrbaugh came in fourth with a 9.775. Borkan claimed her fall was a fluke, since she's never fallen in practice.

"It's good to get a freak fall like that out of the way before the championship season starts," Borkan said.

This week, the team looks to stay on course and keep healthy for its next away competition against Maryland next weekend. Pirkl believes that her teammates will keep working on little details in order to peak at the right time.

"The best part is that we haven't even reached our potential yet," Pirkl said.
