The ladies are back doing what they do best. Beating the tar out of quality opponents. They went to Columbia and beat the No. 21 team in blow out fashion. If this was a football score we win by 28 or so.
I wonder how many programs have a team going for a nation championship 3peat. We have two.
(I think RollTide.com has a typo in the record for CSP season openers.)
The two-time defending NCAA Champion Alabama gymnastics team opened the 2013 season with a 196.450-192.025 win over No. 21 ranked Missouri. Alabama, ranked No. 1 in the preseason coaches' poll, is now 57-8-1 in season openers under Sarah and David Patterson, who are in their 35th season leading the Crimson Tide.
"I felt like we did a good job tonight, I didn't feel like we were great, but I think that's down the road," UA head coach Sarah Patterson said. "We were pretty consistent, but we made little mistakes. For example, we hit all of our routines on the uneven bars, but we missed some handstands. We were just a little tight in some things like that."
Alabama scored better than 49 on all four events and won all five individual titles. In her first all-around since her freshman year, junior All-American Kim Jacob won posted a 39.275 for the win.
