The Pioneers opened the meet on bars and scored a 48.225 led by senior Courtney Cochefski who tied for first overall on the event with a 9.775.  Other TWU standouts on the event were sophomore Katie Simpson with a 9.675 and senior Spencer Jones with a 9.625.
 
In the second rotation on vault, TWU freshman Madison Nettles captured the event title with a career-high of 9.850 and helped the Pioneers to a 48.650 team score.  Senior Kayla Jones scored a 9.800 while senior Stephanie Repp finished with a 9.725.

"After making good strides forward last weekend, we definitely took some steps backward tonight," said TWU head coach Lisa Bowerman.  "There were mistakes on all four events that added up to cost us a win tonight.  We will be getting back in the gym next week to work hard at correcting our mistakes and competing with more mental strength and toughness."
 
The Pioneers will return to action when they travel to St. Charles, MO, to compete in the GQ Invitational against Centenary and Lindenwood on Friday, Feb. 13.  The meet is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. in Family Arena.
