After three consecutive losses, the No. 11 Auburn gymnastics team tied the third-best score in school history in its 197.00-194.60 win Friday night over Missouri.
This was Auburn's fourth time in program history posted a score of 197.
"We better take a little bit of confidence from this," said Auburn head coach Jeff Graba. "This is what we see in practice everyday and it's nice to see it in a meet situation. It couldn't come at a better time."
After the first rotation, Auburn started their lead with a 49.275 on vault while Missouri scored a 48.625 on bars.
Caitlin Atkinson led Auburn in vault with a 9.9.
Auburn also posted their second highest bars score of the season, a 49.125, in their second rotation of the night. Kelsey Kopec had a career high score of 9.875 in bars tonight and Atkinson matched her with a 9.875 in bars.
Auburn even scored their season high beam score in tonight's meet, which is a 49.3. A couple of Tigers had career bests in beam, including Lexus Demers with a 9.9 and Kullen Hlawek with a 9.825.
Now that Auburn's home schedule is finished after tonight's win, their only regular season meet remaining is next weekend's rematch with Alabama at Tuscaloosa.
