Senior Brianna Comport And Freshman Maya Reimers Earn Weekly ECAC Division II Gymnastics Awards

Danbury, Conn.-Two members of the University of Bridgeport women's gymnastics team, senior Brianna Comport (Gilbertsville, Pa.) and freshman Maya Reimers (New York, N.Y.) have been selected as winners of Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division II Women's Gymnastics Athletes of the Week Awards for the week ending January 29, 2017 for their outstanding performances over the weekend.

Comport earned ECAC Division II Specialist of the Week honors, and Reimers was selected as the ECAC Division II Rookie of the Week helping the Purple Knights win a dual meet at Brown on Friday night and take first place at Yale's Don Tonry Invitational on Saturday.

Brianna Comport posted first and second place finishes on the balance beam in back-to-back competitions last weekend. The senior took first in Bridgeport's meet with Brown University with a score of 9.875 on Friday, and then finished in second (9.825) in a quad meet with Yale, Southern Connecticut State University and Rhode Island College the following afternoon. Comport also finished in first in the floor exercise at both events, scoring 9.875 against Brown before bettering that performance with a 9.9 at Yale.

Maya played a key role in Bridgeport's two victories last week. The freshman posted personal bests on the beam (9.9) and floor exercise (9.85) over the course of the week, and finished third in the all-around against Brown (38.525) and second at Yale (38.525).

This weekend, the University of Bridgeport women's gymnastics team will again be busy traveling to Southern Connecticut State for a dual meet on Saturday and then to Penn for quad-meet on Sunday.
