No. 2 LSU gymnasts suffer third straight loss
With the meet coming down to the last rotation, LSU had two gymnasts fall off the balance beam and it was enough to allow No. 11 Kentucky to send the 2nd ranked Tigers to a third consecutive loss in a 197.100-196.800 decision in Lexington, Ky.
It’s the first time in 10 years that LSU (4-3 overall, 3-3 SEC) has lost three straight dual meets. Just like a decade ago almost to the day, it was Kentucky (4-3, 4-2 SEC) that gave the Tigers their third consecutive loss on Feb. 25, 2011 in Lexington.
