Dana never seemed to sit right with the fan base. She still had good crowds, but not to the same level as Coach Patterson did when she was at the helm.

Victory is sweet, especially against the barn.
Wow, that's close.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The No. 11 Alabama gymnastics team defeated the Auburn Tigers 197.850-197.700 in front of a sold-out Coleman Coliseum crowd Friday night. The Crimson Tide earned its highest score of the season on both balance beam and floor exercise, with UA's 49.700 rotation total on floor the highest on the event in the nation this season.
Following a 49.175 on the vault to open the meet, the Tide's rotation scores got higher after each rotation. Alabama followed a 49.325 on the uneven bars with a 49.650 on the balance beam, tying for the second-highest total on the event in program history. The Tide closed out the night with a 49.700 on floor exercise, tying a program record on the event.
Luisa Blanco scored a perfect 10 on the balance beam and anchor Alabama in the third rotation of the night, earning the second 10.0 of her career. Blanco posted a 39.750 in the all-around, tying her career high on the vault (9.950), the balance beam (10.0) and floor exercise (9.975), receiving at least one 10.0 from a judge on all three events.
Sophomore Lilly Hudson also earned a pair of 9.975s on both balance beam and floor exercise, both career-highs for the sophomore. Hudson also tied her career-high in the all-around with a 39.575, matching her total from last Friday's meet at Kentucky.
Head Coach Ashley Johnston said
"I'm so proud of this team. We started the meet with a little bit of a mistake, and they did not let that affect them. They were able to carry that energy and pass the torch from one person to the next. I'm just so proud of their resilience and the way that they rallied to not worry about the scores or the outcome, but just stayed invested in the moment and continue to get better. We worked through adversity on our opening rotation and built on it each event moving forward, finishing with a program record score on floor. I think it says a lot about who they are as people that they don't give up. That's what this night was all about with it being Power of Pink, continuing to put in the work and to fight even when the going gets tough. Again, I'm just so proud of this team, and it made such a huge difference to have the amazing crowd that we had out there today supporting us."Inside the Scoresheet
