Towson edged West Chester, 193.525-192.55.

Duke placed fourth on the vault with a score of 9.675 while also tying for fourth on the bars with a 9.65. Duke was just behind Melanie Wojowoda (Amelia, Ohio), who finished third on the bars with a 9.675.
 
Wojowoda and Duke led the Golden Rams to a season-high 48.125 on the bars. Duke and Meakim were in on West Chester's season-best 48.1 on the vault as well.
 
The Golden Rams scored a 47.9 on the balance beam. Cassie Hageman (Carlisle, Pa.) tied for third with a 9.65. Sarah Boyd (St. Petersburg, Fla.) was fifth with a 9.625.
 
West Chester returns to the gym next Saturday when it hits the road for Upstate New York and a dual meet with SUNY-Cortland.
