The No. 2 OU women's gymnastics team hosts the top–ranked Alabama Crimson Tide in a historic match-up at 7 tonight the Lloyd Noble Center.

This will be the first meeting between the No. 1- and No. 2-ranked teams in the nation since No. 2 Georgia upset top-ranked Florida 196.850-196.825 in Gainesville, Fla., on Jan. 18, 2008. The meet has been called the biggest home meet in the program's history.

“This is absolutely monumental for our program,” head coach K.J. Kindler said.

The Sooners capped off a seventh straight victory over a top-25 opponent with the help of sophomore Sara Stone’s perfect 10.0 on vaultFeb. 26 against No. 23 Michigan State.

“I was just really focused, and I hope to bring that same focus this week,” Stone said.

Despite OU's win, Alabama still managed to overtake the Sooners in this week’s national poll after a 197.225-195.650 win at Kentucky.

The Sooners and the Tide have swapped the No.1 and No. 2 rankings four weeks in a row.

OU gymnasts said they want to make sure to stay calm during the high-profile meet.

Sophomore Megan Ferguson said she is very excited for the opportunity to help her Sooner squad knock off the toughest opponent in the country.

“Many people still are skeptical of our program, and this win would really solidify how capable we are, ” Ferguson said. “We can compete against anyone.”

Focus is the name of the game for the Sooners.

“When we focus, we can beat anyone” Kindler said. “It's just important to remain calm and channel our energy.”

Ferguson said Kindler, who is in her third year as the Sooners’ coach, helps the team keep the right mindset.

“K.J. does an incredible job at keeping us positive and focused,” Ferguson said.
