In the Terps' meet at EAGL opponent New Hampshire on Saturday, Cofsky earned new career highs on bars and floor and finished in the top three on those events, as well as in vault.

"Kesley continues to come through for us in pressure packed situations. I'm happy to see her earn EAGL honors yet again," Terps head coach Brett Nelligan said. "Kesley trains day in and day out with a focus and a goal of being the best she can be for her team and doing whatever it takes to help us achieve our goals."

She helped lead the Terps to their highest floor team score of the year, 48.900 with her score of 9.850, which also put her at second in the event.
