Los Angeles, Calif. -

The 10th-ranked UCLA gymnastics team set a new season-high in defeating 19th-ranked Oregon State, 197.55-194.925. Sophomore Jamie Dantzscher led UCLA with a career-high all-around total of 39.8 and took home first place honors on vault, bars and floor (sixth consecutive 10.0).

UCLA counted no score lower than 9.7 and scored above a 49 on all four apparatus, closing the meet out with season-highs on beam (49.475) and floor (49.575). Oregon State, which competed the night before in Fullerton, did not have to count a fall either but was unable to total an event score over 49.

The Bruins started the evening on vault and posted their third-highest total of the season, a 49.15. Dantzscher led the Bruin effort with her winning score of 9.925. Onnie Willis added a 9.9, and Kristin Parker made a triumphant return to the lineup after an ankle injury with a 9.85. The Beavers, meanwhile, on bars totaled a 48.925, led by Elizabeth Jillson's 9.9.

UCLA took a comfortable 98.5-97.025 lead after rotation two, scoring a 49.35 on bars to Oregon State's 48.15 on vault. Dantzscher again led the Bruins with her sixth 9.975 of the season. Yvonne Tousek preceded her with a 9.925.

In rotation three, the Bruins were impressive on beam, with no score falling below 9.825. Dantzscher set a new career-best mark with a 9.9, Malia Jones tied her career-best with a 9.875, and Alyssa Beckerman capped it off with a career-high 9.95 to capture first place. Oregon State on floor scored a 48.875 and was led by Annie Campbell's 9.875.

UCLA concluded the evening with great performances on floor. Beckerman set a new career high with a 9.9. Willis pleased the crowd with a 9.95, and Dantzscher capped the meet with her sixth-straight perfect 10, believed to be a national record.

Dantzscher won her third consecutive all-around. Willis placed second with a 39.475, and Tousek was third with a 39.45.

The Bruins will compete twice next week, first traveling to Washington to take on the Huskies and Seattle-Pacific on Friday, Mar. 1 then returning home to host Michigan, Minnesota and Cal State Fullerton in the annual UCLA Invitational on Mar. 3.
