The Sacramento State gymnastics team posted its best NCAA West Regional score with a 193.575 as the Hornets placed sixth on Saturday at Oregon State. Sac State had scored 192.050 during the 2006 Regional at Cal.

Host Oregon State won the meet with a 197.10. The Beavers swept every event and tool the top three spots on the vault and bars and the top two spots on the floor. Michigan (196.375) placed second, Michigan State (195.125) came in third, Washington (194.075) was fourth and San Jose State (193.850) was fifth.

Freshman Alycia Chan tied for sixth on the vault with a 9.850 posting the second highest score for a Hornet in the postseason. Senior Alexis Tsurumoto topped the Hornets on the bars as she tied for 13th with a score of 9.775. Senior Melissa Genovese and sophomore Eryn Stubblefield tied for eighth on the beam with scores of 9.850. Genovese was also the highest Hornet score of the floor tying for 15th place with a 9.775.

Genovese placed sixth in the all-around with a score of 38.925. The senior was just .050 from being one of two gymnasts who advance to the NCAA Championships, but is an alternate in case Haley Bogart of Washington or Rochelle Robinson of Michigan State are injured. Bogart scored 39.050 and Robinson scored 39.025.
