The No. 16 Auburn Gymnastics team (2-5, 2-4 SEC) set a season-high on bars with 49.150, beating its previous best of 49.125, but fell short against No. 4 Florida (6-2, 5-1 SEC) 195.700-196.800. "We had a good night all in all," said head coach Jeff Thompason. "We only had one fall, but on everything else we were just a little off. Every vault, we took a step. Our bars were good. We wobbled a little bit on beam, but I thought we finished really strong on floor. Unfortunately, our opponent is one of the top four teams in the country." Florida took an early lead when all five gymnasts scored 9.85 or higher on bars. The Gators were led by sophomore Elizabeth Mahlich, senior Amanda Castillo and senior Maranda Smith's 9.875s to give Florida a 49.325-48.800 lead. Auburn began the night on vault where four Tigers scored a 9.75. Freshman Maya Wickus scored 9.8 to help Auburn to a total of 48.800 in the event. The Tigers went from vault to bars where they scored a season-high 49.150.
