When they visited the Utah last week, the No. 25 Arizona GymCats put up a season high 49.125 on the balance beam. It was the first time they had broken the important 49-point mark on the event all season.
Their return home to McKale Center on Friday night didn’t go so smoothly.
The GymCats struggled to put up the 9.8s and 9.9s they needed to challenge No. 11 Oregon State, scoring a 9.8 or better on just eight of their 24 routines. That wouldn’t do against a team like the Beavers, who went on to win by a score of 196.
