UIC, MSU, MSU Club Results

MINNEAPOLIS - The UIC men's gymnastics team traveled to take on the Minnesota Gophers and the MSU club team Saturday. The Flames ultimately fell to the Gophers, 438.350-372.450, while placing ahead of the MSU club's 163.100.

"We had good night, but our depth continues to be a hurdle we can't jump," said head coach Charley Nelson. "Trent Jarrett had a great day and Alex Dumstorf had a stellar pommel horse set."

Despite the second-place team finish, there were several notable individual finishes for the Flames. Alexander Dumstorf, Jacob Thurber, CJ Patton, Trent Jarrett and Steen Haugsted led UIC in their respective events.

The Flames began the evening on the pommel horse where Patton scored 13.400. Dumstorf and Thurber and tied for a team best on floor exercise with a total of 14.300. Jarrett's score of 13.850 was good for fifth on rings, as Thurber came away with a 13.900 on vault.

Haugsted notched a team high score of 12.600 on the high bar. The squad then wrapped up the evening on parallel bars where Dumstorf and Jarrett led the Flames with their score of 13.600.

"Though we definitely missed Keith Kohn, I'm looking forward to plugging him back into the lineup next week and see the team closer to full strength," said Nelson.

The Flames return home to host Arizona State in their final home meet of the season at the UIC Pavilion on Sunday (March 13) at 2 p.m. (CT). It will also serve as Senior Day for UIC's four seniors.
