CEDAR CITY -- With improved scores from last week's meet, the BYU gymnastics team posted an overall score of 193.350 at No. 17 Southern Utah with No. 18 Boise State and Cal State Fullerton.
Southern Utah came out ahead with 194.650, followed by Boise State at 194.425, and CS Fullerton posted 193.575 over BYU.
"Overall I was pleased with the team's performance," said BYU Head Coach Brad Cattermole. "They fought through the whole thing and they didn't give up."
Senior Dayna Smart-Allen earned her first individual title of the 2008 season as she posted a 9.825 on the balance beam, tying with two other gymnasts in the event. BYU earned a solid 48.000
"It was nice having [Dayna Smart-Allen] back in the line up," Cattermole said. "Getting both her and [Alethea] Boon back into more events is important. They are hard to replace."
The Cougars' strongest event of the night was the vault at 48.700. Competing in her first meet of the season, Smart-Allen posted 9.850 and tied for second on the apparatus. Junior Hayley Jensen followed Smart-Allen with 9.775.
"We did very well on vault this week," Cattermole said. "I was very happy with that. There was vast improvement from last week's performance."
Senior Kylie Draper-Marvin led the Cougar squad on the uneven bars with 9.825 as the team grabbed 48.125 in the event. Draper-Marvin and Jensen both tied for second on the floor exercise as they danced their way to a 9.800, season highs for the two gymnasts. BYU as a team earned 48.525 on the floor.
"We were pretty much right there in the game," said Cattermole. "But it is early in the season and the girls are still getting adjusted. Hopefully by next week we will have most of it worked out."
The Cougars return home Friday as they prepare face in-state rival University of Utah in the Deseret First Duel. The meet will start at 7 p.m. in the Marriott Center.
