Beam proved to be a challenge for Washington as the Huskies tied their lowest score of the season (48.850).
Β
Emily Innes and Killough-Wilhelm led the way with 9.875s followed by an anchor 9.850 by Moody, but it wasn't enough to reach a 49+ as the GymDawgs were forced to count a 9.475.

Β
The Huskies tied UCLA with a 49.150 on vault, an event Washington has struggled with as far as consistency all season (tied 36th nationally on the event).
Β
Killough-Wilhelm, Navarro and Mary McDonough concluded the rotation and the meet with three straight 9.85s.
Β
After a tough start by Denver on vault (49.025) and bars (49.250), the Pioneers came back to finish on top of the first session.
