UCLA gymnastics will try to keep their perfect season going when they take on top-ranked Oklahoma in a rematch of last year's national championship.
There is little separating No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 2 UCLA again this season. Both teams are undefeated, and they are the only two teams in the nation to score higher than 198 points in multiple meets. Both have two gymnasts ranked in the top 10 nationally on the floor, beam and uneven bars.“Between these two teams, I feel like we bring each other up,” Lehrmann said, “and we can really just bring out, you know, some fantastic gymnastics in each other.
Both times the Bruins and Sooners faced off last season, a tenth of a point or less determined the winner. Oklahoma junior Jade Degouveia expects the meet at Oklahoma on Sunday will depend on the fine details. Lehrmann said the outcome is a toss-up.Last year, Oklahoma received a painful lesson on the importance of the details, one the coaches have emphasized since the first day of preseason.
One gymnast deciphered it that afternoon, and the meaning spread by word of mouth to the rest of the team. It was an acronym for “point zero three seven five,” Oklahoma’s margin of defeat to UCLA in the championship meet.“I personally loved it,” Degouveia said. “I thought it was really smart, and I thought that it was a good and strategic way to kind of get under people’s skin a little bit … and just remind us how much exactly we lost by.
