SEATTLE - Evanni Roberson earned the first perfect 10 on beam in Washington history as the GymDawgs earned their fourth-straight Pac-12 win against Arizona. The senior had an outstanding meet, earning individual titles on bars, beam, floor, and in the all around.

The Junior earned a career-high 9.925 during the first rotation and took home the individual title. Right behind her was Roberson, earning a 9.850 and the second-highest GymDawg score.

After a tough rotation on bars, the GymDawgs hit their stride on beam and never looked back.

Madison Copiak had the second-highest score for the GymDawgs with a 9.925, a season-high mark that also matched her career-high.

Hannah Vandenkolk scored her fourth career-high on beam of the season with a 9.900 to take the third-best GymDawgs score, and Michaela Nelson added a 9.875 in her first competition on beam of the season. This was also a career-high score for the senior. Washington finished with a beam score of 49.475, the best beam score for the GymDawgs in the last two years.

Washington finished strong on floor with five gymnasts earning a 9.850 or higher. Evanni Roberson led the way, taking the individual title and a score of 9.925. Kristyn Hoffa continued her dominant stretch of meets on floor with a 9.900, making it four straight meets in which she has scored at or above 9.900. The GymDawgs earned a 49.400 on floor, their third-highest floor mark of the season.

Roberson's perfect 10 helped her to a new all around career-high of 39.650, and her fourth individual title of the night.

Washington will be back in action on Sunday, February 23 against Arizona State.
