No. 1 Oklahoma (4-0) defeated No. 13 LSU (0-3) 197.600-197.450 in Baton Rouge on Monday. The win marked the Sooners' first at LSU since 2006. 

The Sooners won by taking the vault event with a 49.425, the beam event with a 49.325 and tying LSU with a 49.450 floor score.

Oklahoma started on bars with sophomore Danielle Sievers, freshman Faith Torrez and sophomore Danae Fletcher each posting a 9.850. Senior Ragan Smith followed by tying her career-high and winning the event with a 9.950, while sophomore Jordan Bowers tallied a 9.900.

Junior Audrey Davis capped off the lineup with a 9.850.

OU then moved to vault with fifth-year senior Allie Stern leading off with a 9.850. Torrez made her career debut in the event and notched a 9.875.

Sievers entered a 9.900 while Bowers registered a 9.875. Junior Kat LeVasseur’s 9.925 tied for the event title and Davis anchored the lineup with a 9.800 bringing the Sooners’ total to 98.825.

Junior Bell Johnson led off the floor rotation with a 9.875, while Sievers scored a 9.875 in her season debut. Fletcher entered a 9.850 with Smith posting a 9.925.

Although ranked third in the nation on floor, Torrez went out of bounds on her last pass and scored a 9.750. Bowers’ 9.925 kept Oklahoma its lead going into the last rotation.

Oklahoma ended the day on beam with senior Jenna Dunn’s 9.875 and freshman Ava Siegfeldt’s 9.750. A clutch performance by Bowers resulting in a 9.950 set a new career-high on the event and also gave her a share of the event title.
