WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah – Stanford finished seventh on Saturday in the Pac-12 Championships at the Maverik Center.
Competing in the first session against Washington, Arizona State and Arizona, the seventh-seeded Cardinal held the lead entering the final event on beam, but was overtaken by Arizona State and Washington.
In the second session, UCLA edged Utah to successfully defend its team title. The Bruins scored 198.400, followed by Utah (198.025), Oregon State (196.600) and Cal (196.575).
Idle since March 10 due to dead week and finals, the No. 26 Cardinal started fast on floor, vault and bars. Stanford received clutch performances throughout the lineup.
"Our team put together their very best on our first three events and put themselves in a position to win the session," said head coach Tabitha Yim. "In the end, we were unable to handle the moment."
