Williamsburg - William and Mary senior gymnast Tricia Long (Humble, Texas), and sophomore Jen Stack (Enfield, Conn.) were both honored with weekly ECAC awards this week. Long was named the ECAC Gymnast of the Week for the second time this season, and Stack was tabbed the ECAC Specialist of the Week following their respective performances at N.C. State on Sunday.

Long recorded a career-high all-around total of 38.475 to place sixth, highlighted by a career-high score of 9.750 on floor. Long actually had to perform part of her floor routine with no music, due to technical difficulties, but was still able to earn a sixth-place showing in the event. The senior added scores of 9.675 on bars, 9.475 on vault and 9.550 beam.

Stack enjoyed a career evening at N.C. State as well, posting personal records in her two events. The sophomore led the Tribe on vault with a career-best 9.675 and also added a then career-high 9.725 on bars. Just this Wednesday though, Stack surpassed the mark on bars with a 9.750 in the Tribe’s victory over Towson and Penn.

W&M returns to action on Saturday night, traveling to Towson.
