MECHANICSVILLE, Va.


Amanda Candler scored a 9.6, leaving Kelly Sievert needing a 9.475 to tie the score. Sievert had scored a perfect 10 in the Beach District, so she was more than capable of bringing home the title.

Her 9.8 was enough to send the Cavaliers faithful into a frenzy and coach Laurie Knott into tears.

``We knew we'd have to stick beam even before (Langley) finished on vault,'' Sievert said. ``And everybody pulled through. I can't tell you how proud I am of this team and the way they handled this kind of pressure.''

``Every time we've had to finish on beam, we've responded,'' Candler said.
