SCSU Gymnastics: The Seniors

By David F. Pendrys (Stats compiled from Road to Nationals)

The Southern Connecticut State University Owls Gymnastics team saw the departure of two Seniors this year and each were key parts of the lineup. Abigail Bensley contributed on Bars and Floor, and Rotem Porat was a Beam specialist who also contributed on Bars as well.

Bensley, a Nursing major, set a career high of 9.475 on the Bars back in 2014, and a career high of 9.8 on the Floor in 2016.
