Mya Hooten earned a 9.950 on vault, 9.900 on the floor
DURHAM, N.H. --Â No. 24 Minnesota defeated New Hampshire 196.375 to 194.550Â on Saturday evening to earn its second win of the season. The Gophers improved significantly from their score of 194.450 in their season-opening win over Central Michigan.
"This weekend was a much better representation of who we are," said head coach Jenny Hansen. "Everyone hit their routines, we were 24 for 24. We had some new people step into different lineups and they did great. We need to keep working to get better and get more confident each week."
The Gophers earned a 49.050 on bars, 49.250 on vault, 49.150 on floor and 48.925 on beam.
Sophomore Jordyn Lyden took home her second uneven bars event title in as many meets with a dazzling 9.875. She topped her previous season-best of 9.850 from last week. Lyden also won the beam title with a score of 9.825.
Fifth-year senior Mya Hooten won event titles on both vault (9.950) and floor (9.900), setting season-highs on both. She has three event titles in two meets so far this season.
Minnesota's top event of the evening was vault. The top five scorers all went 9.775-or-better and four went 9.825-or-better.Â
"We have a lot of really good vaulters. I can really see that being one of our best events this year," Hansen said.
