The Bears began the tournament in the lead with a compulsory score of 38.15, outscoring Gannon by over two points.
Baylor’s lowest score came in the compulsory tumbling heat at 8.95, but despite that hiccup, the team averaged a 9.63 score, including a 9.9 in the pyramid open and an impressive 9.925 aerial pass from senior top Hope Bravo.
