PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Brown University gymnastics sophomore Alyssa Gardner has earned ECAC Coaches Choice weekly honors after helping the Bears place second as a team in a quad meet on Saturday, the Eastern College Athletic Conference announced on Tuesday.

A native of Angola, N.Y., Gardner scored a season-high 9.700 on vault and a 9.450 on floor, despite coming off an ankle injury. She competed on all four events, including exhibition performances on bars and beam, keeping herself prepared in case the team should need her to compete in any event at future meets.

As a team, the Bears came in second at their fifth annual "Rumble and Tumble" meet with Brown wrestling behind a score of 191.225. The Bears tallied a 48.225 on vault, a 47.450 on bars, a 47.350 on beam, and a season-high 48.200 on floor.

Next, Brown competes at Penn with Cornell and Ursinus on Sunday, Feb. 3 at 1:00 p.m. prior to hosting RIC and Southern Connecticut for a tri-meet on Sunday, Feb. 10 at 1:00 p.m.
