No. 20 Missouri gymnastics knocks off No. 4 Nebraska
The No. 20 Missouri gymnastics team knocked off No. 4 Nebraska, 195.725-194.550, for its fourth win of the season Saturday in Lincoln, Neb.
Freshman Rachel Updike and senior Mary Burke both had career-high scores on vault with 9.950 and 9.925, respectively. Burke also scored 39.325 in the all-around competition, finishing second by 0.050 points.
Missouri also received strong performances from freshman Kelsy Landreth with a career-high 9.850 on vault and junior Tori Howard’s 9.800s on vault and the floor exercise.
Nebraska led coming off the first two rotations, but a poor showing on beam reversed the Cornhuskers’ fortunes. The Tigers were consistently high-scoring throughout the meet; their lowest event score was 48.675 on the beam.
Missouri’s next meet will take place against the North Carolina State Wolfpack on Friday at the Hearnes Center.
