Bekah Gher, Marissa Unpingco, Cassandra Harrison and Alyssa Kaschak all earned 9.825 scores. Both Harrison and Kaschak matched career-bests.
San José State continued to earn high scores on beam. The Spartans' best beam performer this season with an average score of 9.788, Greer earned a meet-best 9.850.

But the four-year Spartans stole the show as the final two floor performers of the night and took first place in the event. Harrison's energetic routine earned her the second 9.900 of her season for the meet title. Greer matched that with a season-best 9.900 of her own to also capture first place.
In the all-around, Harrison and Guyer finished second with 39.225, a season-best score for Guyer. Gher earned a 39.175.
