SALT LAKE CITY -
Locked in a surprisingly close meet with unranked Washington after three events, No. 6 Utah exploded for a 49.525 on the floor exercise and erased any hopes of a Husky upset, 197.125-196.250. It was the third-straight 197-plus score for the Utes, who stayed unbeaten against the Huskies, earning their 50th all-time win against no losses (two ties). The victory came before 15,503 boisterous fans—the third 15,000-plus crowd in the Huntsman Center this season.
After some puzzling low scores for Utah on the balance beam and a 49.30 floor score by UW, the Ute lead was cut to 0.
