Rhode Island College's gymnastics team defeated Wilson College, 170.6-165.0, in a meet last Saturday afternoon at the Murray Center. Prior to the meet, RIC's athletic department honored one of the captains, senior Melissa Demirjian, on Senior Day. What better way to say goodbye to their teammate than with a victory.

Demirjian is from Warwick, RI. At her last home meet, she led the Anchorwomen on vault with a score of 8.925, placing third overall on bars (8.350) and floor (9.125).

This was the gymnasts' second victory of the season, raising their overall record to 2-10 and 2-7 in the Eastern College Athletic Conference. Freshman Robyn Albert won a pair of events, capturing first in the all-around with 34.975, and on the bars with 8.700. Albert also led the Anchorwomen on beam with a score of 8.950. Sophomore Elizabeth Ann Glunt earned second place in the all-around (34.950) and on bars (8.450).

Up next for the Anchorwomen is a meet at Wilson College on Sun. March 9 at 11 a.m.
