Posting a season-high overall team score this weekend at Temple, the gymnastics team is finding its rhythm just in time for its first home meet of the season. The Red finished in second place narrowly behind Temple, who edged out the Red 191.150 to 191.025. Saturday’s meet also marked the second time this season that the Red has defeated Ivy League rival University of Pennsylvania.
