CORTLAND, N.Y. – Majesta Valentine (Wilmington, Del.) finished first on the vault and tied for first on the floor exercise while Alyssa Hult (Fremont, N.H.) finished first on the uneven bars to pace visiting West Chester to a 188.000-185.225 victory over SUNY-Cortland in a non-league women's gymnastics meet in Upstate New York Saturday.
