Senior Christina Sundgren led Southeast with a title on the balance beam. She scored a 9.800 for her first career win in the event.

Brianna Gaddie took second in the event with a 9.775.

Gaddie shared the vault title by scoring a 9.800. It was her 11th career title in the event. She also took third on the floor with a 9.800.

Taylor Westrick finished third in the all-around with a 38.450. It was the first time in her college career that she's competed in all four events.

Margaret O'Neal led the Redhawks on the bars by tying for fourth with a 9.750.

The Redhawks return to action Friday when they host Western Michigan.
