RALEIGH, N.C. ā Rutgers gymnastics scored a 196.225 for its fourth-highest score in program history in a dual meet at NC State on Saturday. The Scarlet Knights' third 196+ of the season was powered by a 49.400 on floor (second-highest in school history) and a 49.150 on bars (fourth-highest in school history), and by senior Hannah Joyner, who led Rutgers in all four events and scored a 39.500 in the all-around, including a 9.900 on bars and 9.925 on floor.

All six floor squad members turned in excellent routines, evidenced by the dropping of Stephanie Zannella's solid leadoff 9.775. Avery Balser (9.825) and Maya Jones (9.850) turned in career-best performances, while Emily Wood matched her career-high 9.900. Emily Leese anchored the crew with a 9.900, following Joyner's huge 9.925.

Earlier on bars, another team-wide effort led to the program's fourth-best score in program history. Freshman Valentina Lorente-Garcia's solid 9.750 was dropped in favor of Jordyn Zieden-Weber (9.775), Elia Aird (9.775), Gianna Ortiz's career-high 9.825, Avery Balser (9.875), and Joyner's 9.9.

Four beam student-athletes scored 9.8 and above ā Emily Leese (9.800), Stephanie Zannella (9.825), Gianna Ortiz (9.850), and Joyner (9.850) ā to give Rutgers its third 49+ of the day with a 49.000 on the apparatus.
