CORVALLIS, Ore. – Junior All-American Madeline Gardiner won the all-around with a 39.225 score but 12th-ranked Oregon State fell 196.175-195.425 to No. 10 Auburn on Sunday in its season opener before a Gill Coliseum crowd of 2,719.
It was the 15th career event victory for Gardiner, a three-time All-American who took third on beam at the 2015 NCAA Championships. She took second on beam (9.85), tied for third on floor (9.8), tied for third (9.8) on vault and was seventh on bars.
“I think that what we did was a good place to start and we can always improve,” Gardiner said.
