But the Huskers got things going on the vault and finished strong for third in Friday's quad in Norman, Oklahoma. The meet was hosted by Oklahoma and also included No. 8 Denver and Texas Women's University.
After a 48.075 start on balance beam, No. 20 Nebraska followed with a 48.000 on floor exercise. But freshman Taylor Houchin and senior Jennie Laeng both posted 9.900 on the vault and the Huskers righted the ship with a 49.275.
Sienna Crouse's 9.900 led Nebraska on the uneven bars to close out that event with a 49.100 team score for a total 194.
