CHARLOTTE, N.C. – After a historic performance Friday evening at Oregon State, Stanford women's gymnastics senior Anna Roberts has been named Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Gymnast of the Week for the third consecutive week, while sophomore Ui Soma earned conference Specialist of the Week honors for the first time in her career.
The duo’s performances were integral in Stanford’s achieving its first 198.000+ score in 22 years. The Cardinal’s effort in Corvallis marked the second-highest team total and the best road score in program history.
Roberts led the Cardinal’s historic performance with a 39.875 all-around score, setting a new career-best all-around total for the second straight meet. Her efforts matched the best all-around score in the nation this season and established a new program record for all-around totals. Roberts also scored her first career 10.000 on any event with a perfect vault score, leading Stanford to a program-record-matching 49.600 vault team total. Her perfect score is just the eighth on the apparatus this season and marked the first Stanford perfect vault since Elizabeth Price achieved it against Oregon State on Jan. 26, 2015. Her career-best efforts on vault and bars (9.975) led her to capture all four event titles and the all-around crown, as the senior currently leads all Cardinal with 17 titles this season.
Soma earned her first weekly honor of the 2026 season with two scores of 9.950 on vault and bars. Her vault total of 9.950 is considered a perfect score for her vault, the Yurchenko Full, which holds a 9.950 start value in the NCAA Code of Points. Her performance preceded Roberts’ perfect 10.000 and was key in the Cardinal’s program-record-matching vault rotation of 49.600, while her 9.950 on bars anchored Stanford’s 49.600 rotation, matching the fourth-best lineup in Stanford history and a season-best for the Cardinal.
No. 10 Stanford preps for No. 5 UCLA to come to town on March 7 for a Saturday matinee meet. The former conference foes’ meeting is set for a 2 p.m. start and will be streamed on ACCNX.
