COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Senior co-captain Jill Fisher (Huntington, N.Y.) won the floor exercise by earning the first-ever 10.000 in Ritchie Coliseum as the University of Maryland women's gymnastics team narrowly defeated George Washington 196.500-196.000. The Terrapin team score is the second-highest in school history.

Junior co captain Gillian Cote (Fredericksburg, Va.) had an outstanding evening as well, winning the all-around with a team season-high 39.525.
