Washington at Utah

Recap

The Big Storyline: Back home for the first time since Week 1, Utah used season bests on bars and floor to cruise to victory over Washington and notch a new season high score. Maile O’Keefe stunned as usual with her near-perfect beam set, but it was Jillian Hoffman who stole the show for the Utes as she stuck her new Yurchenko one and a half for the vault title. The Huskies missed out on a season best by a few tenths but had their best beam outing of the season, finally breaking 49 thanks to a 9.900 from Skylar Killough-Wilhelm.

Implications: While Lucy Stanhope was absent from lineups due to a heel bruise, Hoffman’s new vault gives Utah the ability to field a full 10.0 start value lineup when healthy. The Utes also remain undefeated in Pac-12 action while the Huskies fall to 0-2—although their schedule gets easier now with Utah and UCLA already behind them.
