A combined effort across all classes helped lead the Huskers to its second place finish on the West Coast. Sophomore Ashley Lambert earned a career-high 9.95 on floor to tie with UCLA’s Danusia Francis for the title. On vault, senior Desire’ Stephens stuck a 9.90 to pace the Big Red, as DeZiel led the bars lineup with a season best 9.90. On beam senior Jennifer Lauer produced another beautiful routine to earn a 9.90 for NU. In the all-around competition, UCLA’s Sam Peszek powered to an impressive 39.625 to capture the title while freshman Grace Williams set the tone for Nebraska with a 39.250.

The Huskers concluded the meet with a solid 196.650, but could not overcome the Bruins’ 197.050. Sacramento State finished with a 194.150 score as Bridgeport notched a 192.575.
