The senior led the Crimson Tide to a win at Georgia to open UA’s road and SEC schedule
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southeastern Conference announced Alabama gymnast Ariana Guerra as its Specialist of the Week Tuesday, following the senior's standout performance at Georgia last Friday.
Guerra tied her career-best score on the floor exercise to help lead the Tide's 196.900-196.875 win at then-No. 10 Georgia, scoring a 9.925. She also posted a season-best 9.850 on the vault.
Guerra's scores boosted the Tide to season-best team marks on the vault, uneven bars and floor exercise. Her scores also pushed Alabama to a season-best team score, which ranks the Tide sixth nationally by high score and jumped UA to No. 9 by season average this week.
Guerra and her teammates return to Coleman Coliseum this Friday to take on defending SEC Champion LSU. The meet gets underway at 8 p.m. CT. Tickets are available through the Alabama Ticket Office (205.348.2262), located in the lobby of Coleman Coliseum, and online at RollTide.com.
