Four out of six Bruins recorded season-high marks on the bars, which was the Bruins’ second rotation of the meet. Chiles and Esparza hit back-to-back 9.975 scores to close out the event. Rosen, a sophomore, also did an exhibition floor routine and the pair of well-executed routines could signal a return to the lineup for the former three-time freshman of the week. The coaching staff made compositional changes in her beam routine and added an onodi, a skill that’s rarely seen in college gymnastics.
UCLA continued to struggle on vault, the meet-opening rotation, and recorded its second-lowest score of the season with a 49.100.
