No. 15 California proved they are a force to be reckoned with after beating ASU women's gymnastics 196.025 to 193.575 on Saturday.
The Golden Bears (4-0, 2-0 Pac-12) dominated every facet of the meet, as they swept the Sun Devils (2-4, 0-1 Pac-12) in all events. They set the tone early with a 9.85 from senior Emily Richard on vault and finished the meet strong with an impressive floor routine of 9.925 by Jamaican Olympian, Toni-Ann Williams.

However, ASU managed to score a season-high in total points. They continued their success on the floor with four Sun Devils recording scores of 9.700 or better, which lead to a total score of 48.550.
The Sun Devil's only senior, Beka Conrad, replaced sophomore Corinne Belkoff at the last moment on the beam and scored a 9.700.
Once again, ASU had great individual moments coming from sophomore Katelyn Lentz who had a 9.700 on vault and a season high of 9.750 on the floor. Sophomore Morgan Wilson also had a career-high on vault with a score of 9.725.
ASU will return to Wells Fargo Arena to face No. 8 UCLA on Saturday, Feb. 4.
