Brittany Baglow and the Springfield College women's gymnastics team have a bonus meet Monday at 4 p.m. at Blake Arena.
Brittany Baglow of Amherst is performing an unexpected encore.
As it turns out, there will be one more chance to see the Springfield College senior gymnast perform at Blake Arena, and it's Monday at 4 p.m. vs. Rhode Island College.
Senior Day, Jan. 27 versus Ithaca, was to be Baglow's last home appearance, but the cancellation of a meet at Brown the weekend of Winter Storm Nemo led to Monday’s meet.
Rhode Island College was one of the teams scheduled to participate at Brown Feb. 9. The meet was moved to Feb. 10, then canceled altogether.
A Springfield College spokesperson said Sunday that Rhode Island College and SC wanted to make up for the lost weekend, and the agreement was made just a few days ago.
Springfield also has a tri-meet at Southern Connecticut Feb. 24, and a quad-meet at West Chester (Pa.) March 2 before the ECAC championships March 10.
In men’s gymnastics, Springfield captured the New England Intercollegiate Invitational Sunday afternoon at Blake.

AIC: The women’s track and field team finished second in a field of 11 at the Northeast-10 Championships at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston Saturday night.
Senior Jeptui Cherutich of Eldama Ravine, Kenya, won both the mile and 3,000-meter runs while sophomore Alexandra Stasiuk of Surrey, British Columbia, captured the 5,000 in a championship-record time of 17:47.95.
Senior Starr Nathan won the long jump with an NCAA provisional-qualifying leap of 5.71 meters while also placing third in the 400-meter dash in a provisional-qualifying 56.61 seconds.
On the men’s side, the Yellow Jackets finished fourth. Senior Glarius Rop of Eldoret, Kenya, won the 5,000. Freshman Michael Biwott of Kapsowar, Kenya, was the 1,000 champion and named Rookie of the Year.
WESTFIELD STATE: The men’s basketball team (21-4, 10-2) is top seed for the MASCAC Championship, draws a first-round bye and will host a semifinal Thursday night at 7 against the winner of Tuesday’s game between fourth seed Bridgewater State (11-13, 5-7) and fifth seed Fitchburg State (13-10, 5-7). Sixth seed Worcester State (12-13, 5-7) and third seed Salem State (15-10, 7-5) play in the other opener.
If the Owls win Thursday, they would host the final Saturday at a time to be announced.
The women’s basketball team (16-9, 8-4) is the third seed, and will host sixth-seeded Salem State (11-14, 4-8) in a quarterfinal Tuesday night at 7. If the Owls win, they would advance to the semifinals Thursday at second-seeded Worcester State (13-12, 9-3).
UMASS: Freshman guard Jasmine Harris scored 19 points off the bench in only 25 minutes of Sunday’s 81-63 loss at Richmond (13-13, 3-7 Atlantic 10). But while that’s a good sign for the future, the Minutewomen (3-21,1-8) are on pace for the program's worst season in 22 years.
UMass, which visits Rhode Island in a make-up game Tuesday and hosts Charlotte Wednesday (7 p.m.), needs to win three of its last five just to equal the most recent low of six wins by the 2004 team coached by Marnie Dacko.
If that doesn't happen, you'd have to go back to the first year of then-coach Joanie O’Brien's tenure in 1992 (4-24) to find a team this bad. O’Brien was taking over a team 0-27 the year before. Two years later, the Minutewomen were .500, and the following two years, they were a combined 39-21 with a WNIT and NCAA appearance.
Third-year coach Sharon Dawley, who had only one losing season in 16 years at Tufts and Vermont, is finding winning here difficult so far with an 18-65 record.
