Kambria Blakely made her last home performance one for the books. The senior scored a dazzling 9.750 to win the Floor Exercise in the Pipers' 186.850-181.450 dual meet loss to UW- La Crosse Friday night at Walker Field House.

Courtney Benson also went out a winner, taking the Vault with a 9.575 score. 

Briana Bridgeford continued to show her rapid improvement, narrowly finishing second on the Uneven Bars. Bridgeford's total of 9.350 was just short of the winning score of 9.400. Benson had the only other top five finish for the Pipers, coming in fifth on the Balance Beam with a 9.025 score. 

It's the start of a busy period for Hamline. They are at Winona State Tuesday and then will join the three other state schools for the annual best of Minnesota meet on Feb. 23 at the U of Minnesota.
