Arizona senior Aubree Cristello won yet another all around title with a 39.350, highlighted by 9.875's on both vault and floor. 

Arizona began their night with a 49.125 on vault, a huge improvement from last week's performance. They scored 48.750 on uneven bars led by Alison Flores' 9.825 in front of a home crowd with a huge full twisting double layout dismount. They managed a 48.975 on balance beam, then finished the night with a strong 49.10 on floor led by 9.875's for Cristello and Jessica Sisler.
