DENTON, Texas -- With another meet hanging in the balance, the Southeast Missouri State University gymnastics team was able to floor another opponent.

After winning last Saturday's Cap'n Crunch Invitational on the merits of stellar floor routines, the Otahkians again relied on the event in a narrow 192.8 to 192.275 victory over Texas Woman's University.

Southeast was able to outscore TWU in three of the four events, but picked up the most ground in the floor exercise. Southeast needed to make up points after being outscored badly in the beam routine, 48.6-47.425. The Otahkians were forced to use a 9.250 and 9.175 among their five scores in the beam.

Southeast's Erin Chenier finished second in the overall competition with a 38.675 total in the four events. TWU's Kim Koenig won the all-around with a 38.70.

The Othakians return to action Feb. 22 in the KGMO/Blimpies Classic at the University of Missouri.
