Men's Gymnastics Falls To Ohio State 208.200-198.675
Jan. 22, 2001 Men's gymnastics coach CJ Johnson saw some things that he liked in UIC's dual meet with Ohio State on Friday night. Other things, however, did not appeal to him - such as the host Buckeyes' 208.200 - 198.675 victory at St. John's Arena. "What's impressive to us," Johnson said. "Is that we're doing what I want to do and that is improve. We're staying together and I know that we have the capability of being a 200-plus team." Senior Anthony Cirullo was the lone individual to score over a 9.0 on the floor exercise as he registered a 9.45 to win the overall title. Freshman Matt Musielak finished second to Cirullo on the floor exercise with an 8.75. The Freeburg native also placed first overall on the pommel horse with a 8.95. "Cirullo did a real nice job," Johnson said. "And Musielak is coming around real well." Senior Dave Johnson also turned in a solid effort as well as he garnered a first-place finish in the vault (9.15) and was a runner-up on the still rings (9.175). Johnson was also tops amongst UIC on the parallel bars with a score of 8.35.
Freshman Mason Vernon scored a team-high on the high bar for UIC with a score of 8.35.
