The No. 2 OU women’s gymnastics team remained undefeated after defeating No. 10 Nebraska and Texas Women’s University on Friday night in Norman.

The Sooners improved their record to 8-0 (1-0 Big 12) after posting a season-high score of 196.825. Nebraska finished second (196.225) followed by TWU (192.575).

OU won team event titles on vault, bars and floor and swept all four individual titles with event wins on vault. Senior Jackie Flanery tied with a 9.9 and freshman Megan Ferguson scored a 9.925 on beam to lift her Sooner squad from an enclosing Nebraska team.

Ferguson (9.925) and Kelley (9.875) finished back to back in the individual standings on beam, but the second straight fall on the apparatus cost OU a chance to record its highest score on the beams this season. Ratcliffe and Nowak preceded Ferguson and Kelley with a pair of 9.85s, but Vise and Smith fell in the final two routines.

OU improved to 49-6 in the regular season under Kindler, including a 25-2 mark in Norman.

The Sooners are at home again on Feb. 12, hosting Iowa State in the annual “Beauty and the Beast” night, during which the gymnastics team will compete side-by-side with the nationally-ranked wrestling squad.
