UNL Women's Gymnastics No. 1 After First Meet

The Huskers take on Denver in their first meet of the season by starting on bars, scoring a 49.3 as a team on the event. In college gymnastics, six gymnasts compete and the top five scores and used for the total.	Hitting a flat split leap gives full credit to the skill. Using their skill-set, gymnasts put together a routine to maximize their score.	Beam can be the meet breaker, but not for the Huskers this day. The team scored a 49.35 on beam on Jan. 13, 2012, at the Devaney Center in Lincoln, Neb.
Flight skills are combined together to gain more points on the apparatus, which is only 4 inches wide.	Flipping to a victory, the Huskers display grace and power as they tumble across the diagonal. Floor, their last event, earned the Huskers a 49.35.	The Huskers finished off the event with a win over Denver and personal victory by earning their highest score at an opening meet, 197.375. Freshman Jessie DeZiel won the all-around award with a 39.57.
