2/3/2018 12:00:00 AM | Gymnastics
Final Results
The No. 22 University of Minnesota Gophers recorded a season high team score but fell 196.850-196.375 to the No. 9 University of Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Ivy Lu took another bars title with a 9.925 while freshman Lexy Ramler won her fourth straight all-around title scoring a 39.475.
"We are getting better each and every week. We see people stepping up into different roles. I'm happy with the progress we are making and can't wait to keep it going," head coach Jenny Hansen said. "We saw a lot more fight this week. We are continuing to play with our lineups. Our lineups aren't set each and every week so people are trying to fight to get in and I think that's helping the whole team."
