Weil ATHENS, GA - #2 ranked LSU traveled to Athens to take on #8 Georgia in a great SEC Gymnastics meet, but unfortunately the Lady Tigers lost to the Gym-Dawgs for the first time in ten years, 197.200 to 196.850. It was a night when LSU didn't perform their best, but it's early in the season with a lot of gymnastics left to go. The Lady Tigers began the night on the Uneven Bars. Lexi Zeiss got LSU off to an amazing start, ringing up a 9.900. Ashley Cowan followed with an impressive 9.850. Madison Ulrich was up next and recorded a 9.825. Kailin Chio had a little trouble and finished with a 9.300. Courtney Blackson then registered a 9.850. Konnor McClain anchored the opening event with a strong 9.950. After the first rotation, LSU led, 49.375 to 49.275. LSU head to the vault for the second rotation. Lexi Zeiss led off with a 9.850. Madison Ulrich then registered a 9.800. Victoria Roberts followed with a 9.650. Kathern Weilbacher struggled on her landing, scoring a 9.525. Amari Drayton then scored a 9.850. Kailin Chio anchored the rotation with a strong 9.925. We headed to the third rotation with Georgia now leading, 98.525 to 98.450 thanks to LSU struggling with some of their landings on the vault. The third rotation sent LSU to the floor as the Lady Tigers looked for a solid showing to retake the lead. Emily Innes started things off scoring a 9.800. Madison Ulrich was up next and registered a 9.800. Konnor McClain had a small issue during her routine and finished with an 8.975. Kailin Chio then scored a 9.850, which in my opinion should of been a higher score. Aamari Drayton was up next and had a 9.575. Kaliya Lincoln finished off the rotation with an impressive 9.925. The meet headed to the final rotation of the night with Georgia still on top, 147.725 to 147.400. LSU went into the fourth rotation needing a very strong showing on the balance beam if they hoped to leave with a victory. Kylie Coen led off with a nice 9.850. Lexi Zeiss then posted a 9.875. Amari Drayton followed with a solid 9.925. Kailin Chio then scored an impressive 9.950. Up next was Madison Ulrich who posted a 9.850. Konnor McClain anchored the rotation with a 9.775. With the loss, LSU falls to 2-1-1 overall and 0-1 in the SEC. Next up the Lady Tigers will return home to host Kentucky on Friday, January 23 at 6:30pm.
