MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University gymnastics team travels to Rhode Island for a tri-meet with the Rams and the Temple Owls on Saturday, March 1, at 3 p.m., in Mackal Field House.
The Mountaineers enter the meet looking to bounce back after a narrow 195.75-195.15 loss to George Washington last Saturday at the WVU Coliseum.
West Virginia is 22-0-0 all-time against Rhode Island and has lost to Temple only once in 37 tries, owning 36-1-0 record.
WVU is currently the nation's 11th-ranked team on vault with a 49.070 average. The Mountaineers are led on the event by senior all-around performer TeShawne Jackson, the school-record holder with 21 9.9 or better scores on the apparatus.
Following the trip to Rhode Island, the Mountaineers return to action on Friday, March 7, for a dual-meet with Arkansas at the WVU Coliseum. The meet is set to begin at 8 p.m.
