Feb. 14, 2015

USAF ACADEMY, Colo. - Backed by three event titles from senior Jessica Wallander, the Air Force women's gymnastics team defeated SUNY Cortland this evening at the Academy's Cadet West Gym. The Falcons claimed a share of first on every event, en route to the 191.500-187.525 victory over the Red Dragons.

Wallander tallied scores of 9.750 on all three of her events, winning the uneven bars outright, tying for first on the vault with freshman Jamie Lewis and sharing the top spot on the floor exercise with classmate Alexandra Stych.

Seniors Kim McRobbie and Lindsay Ebel rounded out the Falcons' sweep of event titles, as they used matching scores of 9.700 for first on the balance beam with Cortland's Elise Konikoff.

McRobbie, who added a runner-up placement on the uneven bars (9.675), won the all-around with a combined score of 38.500, and Ebel completed the Falcons' sweep of the top-three placements on the uneven bars, as she tallied a 9.675 to finish third.

Highlighted by third-place finishes on the floor exercise (9.725) and all-around (37.850), sophomore Kara Witgen claimed three top-five finishes.

After two weeks at the Academy, the Falcons head back out on the road next week for a dual meet at Illinois State on Friday, Feb. 20.
