The No. 2 Oklahoma Women's Gymnastics team (2-0, 0-0 Big 12) traveled to Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum to face the Auburn Tigers (0-2, 0-1 SEC) for their second straight test against a top ten SEC opponent.

Leading the Sooners to a victory against the No. 4 Florida Gators (0-1, 0-0 SEC) in Norman only a week earlier was Big 12 Specialist of the Week, senior Jackie Flanery.

After Oklahoma posted a team tally of 49.050 on the apparatus, aided by junior Natalie Ratcliff’s 9.85, the Sooners had bagged the vault title.

Along with Flanery and senior Mary Mantle’s stunning 9.8 performances, sophomore Sara Stone’s 9.825 was the final blow to quiet the 5,750 crowd in Alabama.

Flanery, along with Hollie Vise and Kristin Smith who posted season high numbers (bars-9.925, beam-9.875) and (beam-9.875) against the Tigers, led the Sooners to their first tough road victory. All three of the women were individual title winners in their victory over Auburn.

“It is very exciting to be on the road for the first time and see how tough you are, in particular because are warm up was not one without a couple of hiccups,” said head coach K.J. Kindler. “I felt that they really regrouped and got their heads together. I’m very proud of how they performed. We were solid throughout, but the girls realize there is so much room for improvement which is the exciting part.”

Kindler is 43-6 as she rolls into only her fourth year as head coach of the lady Sooners.

Friday’s victory over the Tigers was OU’s third straight over Auburn and evened the all-time series at four apiece. Through two meets, Oklahoma has won 15 of a possible 16 combined team and individual event titles.

OU next travels to Champaign, Ill., for a meeting with 2009 NCAA Championships qualifier Illinois on Jan. 23 at 7 p.m. (CT). The Fighting Illini entered the weekend ranked No. 23 in the country.
