Headwind to tailwind: No. 10 Cal beats Springfield College, ready to face No. 11 William & Mary
David McAllister/Staff
Sometimes, disappointment can actually spur a higher level of performance. That was what happened to Cal last Wednesday when the Bears captured a win following a tough loss at the hands of rival Stanford just four days prior.
No. 10 Cal topped Springfield College by 17.25 points Feb. 17, hitting a season-high score of 387.2. Getting back to their winning ways, and this time with a week to prepare, the blue and gold are ready to square off with No.11 William & Mary in another virtual meet Wednesday. Like all of the other virtual meets this season, spectators are not allowed to attend the meet in person, but the competition can be accessed through the streaming service Virtius.

The Springfield College mens gymnastics team competed in its second virtual meet of the season against Army on Saturday afternoon in Dana Gymnasium. Army took a narrow win with 377 points compared to Springfield’s 370.400. Most events were separated by only a few points. With little preparation time from the last meet, the Pride continued to show their strength and versatility across all grade levels.
“I think the meet went as best as it could have. We had only one day between our last competition to really slow down and fix some things, said head coach Matt Davis. “I think we had a better meet even if the score did not show it.”
