Team Effort Helps Cougars to Season High

PROVO -- The BYU women's gymnastics team had its most complete effort of the season on its way to a season-best 194.875 against the Boise State Broncos in the Smith Fieldhouse Saturday night.

"I'm pleased with our performance. The girls went out and hit their routines when they needed to," BYU coach Brad Cattermole said. "When we stick like we're capable of, we're a very good team."

Four Cougars had individual season or career highs on multiple events to pace a very balanced BYU effort. Even student coaches Meghan Donahue and Lena Johnson contributed to the win as the team awarded the outstanding Cougar(s) of the meet award to the two coaches for their help throughout the season.

BYU came out a little slow on vault in their first rotation but still managed to post a 48.525. The bars were slippery for the Broncos at the same time however and the Cougars took advantage of the Broncos' struggles for a 48.525 -- 47.225 lead after the first rotation. Dayna Smart led the way for BYU with a first-place 9.825 while Alethea Boon was third at 9.750.

After posting their highest score of the season on bars at Arizona, the Cougars followed it up with a strong 49.000 in their second rotation. Kylee Draper scored a career-high 9.875 to tie with Kacie Capra for first place. Cassie Myers added a 9.825 and Lisa Willis had a season-high 9.800 to round out the Cougars' balanced scoring.

"We've done well on bars lately," BYU coach Brad Cattermole said. "I was pleased with how the girls stayed positive after the first rotation and went and stuck their routines."

Boon led the way for the Cougars on beam in the third rotation tying her career-high 9.850. Smart and Kandis Kelly each added a 9.800 while Capra recorded a 9.750. The Broncos' Katie Dinsmore also recorded a 9.850 to tie with Boon for first-place honors.

BYU tied their season-high 48.875 on floor in its last rotation despite having to count three steps out of bounds. Willis and Boon tied for first with Boise State's Dinsmore with season-highs 9.825. Draper added a career-best 9.775 for the Cougars.

BYU's Capra captured first place in the all-around with a 38.950. The Broncos' Taylor Jacobs was second at 38.500.

BYU will be back in action Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Smith Fieldhouse when the Cougars host in-state rival Southern Utah for senior night.
