California at Stanford

Recap

The Big Storyline: This time by a much healthier margin, California defeated rival Stanford for the second time this season, behind the strength of Andi Li’s huge winning bars total and all around performance. Stanford got a lot of major contributions from its super seniors, with Kyla Bryant leading the way with her duo of event titles and second place all-around showing with a 39.425.

Implications: Although both programs fell short of season highs, the Cardinal posted its top home score since 2020 and the Golden Bears improved upon their season-best road score. California also remains undefeated on the season and is still in contention for the Pac-12 regular season title.

Records: Bryant’s winning vault score is a new career high while Mya Lauzon earned her first career event title for California.
