The University of Minnesota women's gymnastics program wrapped up their trip to Iowa City by finishing with the exact same score as the Iowa Hawkeyes, 196.875.
Notable
In another show-stopping floor routine, junior Mya Hooten earned a score of 9.975, tying her for the event title with Iowa's Jerquavia Henderson.
Junior Gianna Gerdes brings the all-around event title back to Minneapolis after scoring a career-high 39.375 on Friday night.
Freshmen Brooklyn Rowray and Sarah Moraw scored 9.900 and 9.875, respectively, on beam. They held the top two scores for the Gophers.
"This was a really great step forward for the team," head coach Jenny Hansen said. "It was the first meet for us ending on beam, and the team handled the pressure really well. Tying with Iowa on the road is a huge testament to our team's growth so far this season."
