Arizona State was second with a 196.425, Stanford third with a 196.35 and Arizona fourth with a 195.825.
The fourth-ranked Utes start their bid to defend their Pac-12 title at 7 p.m. MDT when they compete in the evening session along with third-ranked UCLA, No. 8 Washington and No. 10 California.
The Utes split with UCLA in the regular season, won their dual meet against Washington and lost to Cal.
