In front of a season high crowd of 2,521, the women’s gymnastics team downed EAGL rival, West Virginia, with a final score of 194.550-194.475 Friday night at Reynolds Coliseum.   “When we [N.C. State and West Virginia,] compete it’s always a great meet, it’s always down to the wire, it’s always within a point of each other,” Coach Mark Stevenson said.   Heading into the final rotation, the Pack found itself trailing the Mountaineers by .025.   “I was in a little panic before [the fourth rotation],” freshman Stephanie Ouellette said. “And then afterwards I was like ‘wow.’ It made me feel really good.”   Led by Ouellette with a score of 9.825, State was able to notch a 48.600 on its floor exercise to overtake West Virginia which scored a 48.500 on its balance beam rotation.   “The freshmen did a phenomenal job today,” Stevenson said. “Stephanie [Ouellette] was four for four. Hannah [Fallanca] was our only mistake by a freshman and [Diahanna Ham] was three for three. So it’s really hard to fault the freshmen and the performances they’re doing.”    The Wolfpack saw contributions from four freshmen, led by Ouellette, who placed fourth in the all-around for the meet.   “It’s weird to say it, but it’s kind of like watching our baby,” junior Jess Panza said. “[Ouellette] is not that much younger than us, but it’s really exciting watching her go through pre-season and watching her go through what we went through. Knowing that we can rely on freshman for every single event is such an amazing feeling.”   However, according to Stevenson, the key to the team’s success was its mistake-free execution.   “The bottom line for both teams is that both teams, N.C. State and West Virginia, went out and we did no mistakes in a meet,” Stevenson said. “We had one fall, didn’t count one, they had one fall, didn’t count one. So I was really pleased with the performance of my athletes.”   State also improved in the vault, raising its score of 48.550 against Oklahoma to 48.875 against West Virginia.   “Our scores were a lot better this week,” senior Brittany Vontz said. “Our form and our landings were a lot better this week. I think that vault was our best event.”   State gymnasts and coaches alike hope to build upon their improved scores on vault and carry the momentum into the season. However, according to Stevenson, the gymnasts still need to perfect some of the more difficult skills.    “We’re going to have to have a little bit better form,” Stevenson said. “We’re going to have to upgrade a bit. We’re not doing all of our hard skills yet. It’s better for us to do our routines right now and gain confidence than put them in.”    State travels to Gainesville, Fla. Friday to face Florida and Penn State before returning home to Reynold’s Coliseum February 2 to take on Iowa State.
