"Jordan Chiles delivered her first career perfect 10 on the vault, helping the No. 9 UCLA women's gymnastics team defeated Nebraska during its home opener at packed Pauley Pavilion on Saturday. The Bruins outscored the Cornhuskers 197.325-195.25. After winning back-to-back Big Ten Gymnast of the Week awards, Chiles won the all-around individual title Saturday, finishing with a total of 39.675. UCLA swept the top three individual spots, with Tiana Sumanasekera and Katelyn Rosen joining Chiles."
"Throughout the past week, UCLA emphasized improving the small details such as landing correctly. The team's dismounts were nearly perfect against Nebraska, especially on the balance beam. The Bruins started strong on the vault during their first rotation, with Sumanasekera and Rosen both scoring 9.8. Madisyn Anyimi received a mark of 9.75 with Ashlee Sullivan hitting a 9.9 right before Chiles delivered her perfect 10. The team rushed her to celebrate the score that helped the Bruins take an early lead with a team score of 49.250."
"During the third rotation, the Bruins moved to the balance beam, an event they struggled with during their third place finish in Utah last week. Rosen and Sumanasekera were nearly perfect, each scoring 9.9. Webster-Longin earned a 9.875 before Chiles topped her best mark on the beam after receiving a 9.975. Ciena Alipio followed it with another 9.975 performance to total 49.626, extending the Bruins' lead by 2.050 going into the last rotation of the day."
