The University of Minnesota gymnastics team took down Illinois with a final score of 197.125 to 195.725 on Sunday afternoon in Champaign, Ill.
The Gophers won each event title on the way to the victory and improved to 3-1 overall and 1-1 in the Big Ten.

It was a day for debuts as Maddie Quarles made her collegiate debut on floor and Gianna Gerdes made her debut on both beam and floor. Freshman Marissa Jencks made her official collegiate debut for the Gophers as she led off the vault lineup.
Junior Halle Remlinger earned her second career title on floor with a 9.925, the first coming in 2020 at Ohio State.
Minnesota's 49.375 on beam was the highest score on the apparatus this season.

"We are just really proud of the way the team performed today," head coach Jenny Hansen said. "We had some new people fill in, they stepped up and really did a great job. Coming back from having a weekend off, we were just really proud of how the team did and how we performed today."
