#8 Stanford men's tennis swept Cal 4-0.
#5 Stanford women's swimming beat #8 Cal in the final dual meet of the season.
Stanford women's gymnastics beat UCLA for the first time in nearly 6 years, 196.900 to 196.850.
Why does UCLA Women’s gymnastics get so much hype?
BC
1) 7 natty's - last in 2018 - plus 4 second place finishes
2) 19 Pac-12 titles
3) To borrow a joke from a stand-up comic one late night in an Elko, Nevada night club (don't ask) - the press is all over the fact UCLA stands for University of California, Los Angeles, and not University of Carlin by the Lake...Almost. Gotta love that Basin & Range humor, right?
In re the latter, the press has been somewhat quiet on the circumstances around an Bruin gymnast's sudden departure and transfer to LSU earlier in the season, and on the ongoing related fall out, which is to say the program has gotten off pretty easily, IMO.
Otherwise, really glad Stanford got this losing streak off their backs. My coworker attended with her daughter's club (West Valley) and said Kyra Bryant was especially impressive. Great job, ladies!
You would have thought that UCLA had come in with seven consecutive national titles.
