BOISE -- The BYU women's gymnastics team enjoyed its best bars score of the season and several gymnasts recorded solid individual routines to help the Cougars to a 192.300 outing against Boise State Friday night in Boise. BYU won the meet 192.300-190.575.

Despite being without an injured Kylee Draper, one of BYU's top performers on bars, the Cougars posted a 48.625 score on the event in the first rotation. Senior Kacie Capra-Callens led the way with a 9.825. BYU's Lisa Willis added a 9.725, while freshmen Melissa Hough and McKell Poulson each posted a 9.700, a career-best for Hough. BSU's Taylor Jacob won the event at 9.875.

Vault gave the young Cougar team some problems in the team's second rotation. Junior Alethea Boon had a strong showing for BYU with a season-best 9.825 to tie for first place on the event with the Broncos' DeAvera Todd. Dayna Smart scored a 9.725 for the Cougars.

Capra-Callens posted the second-highest floor score of her career at 9.850 to pace BYU in its third rotation. Smart contributed a 9.800 to help the cause for the Cougars. BSU's Jacob also scored a 9.850 to tie with Capra-Callens for first-place honors.

BYU took three of the top four places on beam to close the night. Smart recorded a strong outing on the event at 9.825 to take first place. Freshman Kaylee Gallup posted a career-best 9.775 in her first collegiate meet to finish second. Willis added a 9.725 to come in third for the Cougars.

Competing in the all-around for the first time in her collegiate career, BYU's Smart scored a 38.800 to come in first place. The Broncos' Todd came in second place at 37.325.

The Cougars will be back in action Monday night against in-state rival Utah State. Start time is set for 6:30 p.m. in the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum.
