PROVO -- Season-high scores on vault and uneven bars sparked the BYU women's gymnastics team to a 195.125 outing and its second-best team mark of the season.
The Cougars took second in the triangular meet just behind No. 10 Oregon State, who finished with a 195.375. Utah State took third at 194.675.
"Tonight was a huge step forward for us," BYU coach Brad Cattermole said. "The kids came out and competed hard. They stayed with things mentally."
The Cougars started the meet off on a hot note as they sizzled to a season-best 49.050 on vault. Freshman Megan Donehue started off by tying a career-best 9.650. Kiki Berrett and Danielle Goldman landed 9.725 and 9.750 scores, respectively, and Jenna Kerbis also notched a 9.750. Alethea Boon led the way for BYU with a 9.925, the second-highest score of her career. Teammate Dayna Smart was close behind with a career-tying mark of 9.900.
A trio of 9.825 scores from McKell Poulson, Aimee Walker Pond and Kylee Draper on bars kept the Cougar fire going in the second rotation as they notched a season-high 48.975. The mark notched new career highs for both Poulson and Walker Pond. For Draper it was her first meet back after sitting out the last seven to injury. Boon, competing on the event for the first time in her collegiate career, swung her way to a career-best 9.800. Freshman Melissa Hough matched her career-high 9.700. OSU's Mandi Rodriguez took first place honors with a 9.875.
"Kylee (Draper) and (Alethea) Boon did a great job on bars," Cattermole said of the two co-captain's efforts. "They are very strong mentally."
Despite a few wobbles on the beam, BYU still turned a good performance on the event. Smart, the 11th ranked beam worker in the nation, led the way with a first-place 9.850. Boon recorded a solid 9.750, while Hayley Jensen nailed a career-high 9.700. Lisa Willis chipped in a strong performance at 9.725.
Smart also led the Cougars on floor with a career-best 9.875. She was followed by a pair of solid 9.750s from Willis and Boon. USU's Meagan Lewis tied Smart for first place on the event.
Competing in the all-around for the first time in her collegiate career, Boon recorded a strong 39.225 to come in third place. The Beavers' Rodriguez took first with a 39.300. The Aggies' Jessica Parenti-Otte was close behind in second place with a 39.275.
BYU was without the services of standout Kacie Capra-Callens Friday night. The senior sat the meet out with a foot injury. She is expected back next weekend.
The Cougars will be back in action next Friday when they travel to Denver, Colo. for a triangular meet with the University of Denver and California.
