Ohashi scored her third perfect 10 of the season on floor exercise, the most in the nation on floor this year as she now has five perfect 10s in her career (3 on floor, 2 on beam). She has scored 9.95 or higher on her last six floor routines, including 3 perfect 10s. In addition, Ohashi set a new career high with a 9.95 to tie for first place on the uneven bars as her mark on bars helped UCLA earn a season-high team score of 49.625, the sixth-highest bars score in school history.
