Notes: Bridgeport currently has the 4^th highest team average and the 4^th highest team high in the entire ECAC, division 1,2, and 3. Yale is currently 11^th in the ECAC total, though its team high is closer to middle of the pack. Yale has not been competing with a full lineup and that’s a natural disadvantage no matter how talented the team is, and all one has to do is look at past Yale years to know the talent level. In terms of the Vault, Bridgeport has the 4^th highest average, but the 2^nd highest team high. Yale is back in the pack average wise, though has a competitive team high. Bridgeport is 4^th average wise for Bars, but 5^th high score wise. Yale is back aways in what may be their toughest event so far this year. On the Beam, Bridgeport is 10^th average wise, and also low in the high score department. Yale is 5^th, and actually has the 2^nd highest score only trailing Temple. It is a silver lining to a tough year so far, but not surprising considering who makes up their Beam lineup. Bridgeport leads the entire ECAC in Floor average, but is just behind Towson and SCSU for a floor high as well. Bridgeport will have a second meet on Sunday elsewhere
