Additionally, UCLA's season-opening total of 197.725 at the Super 16 was the highest by a UCLA team in a season opener since the 2005 team scored 197.300 in a dual meet at Utah. It was also just the fourth time in school history that a UCLA team has scored 197 in the first meet of the year. ย ย ย ย ย
HARRIS 3-FOR-3 AS PAC-12 FRESHMAN OF WEEKย
For the third time in as many weeks, Selena Harris has been named the Pac-12 Freshman/Newcomer of the Week.

LASHBROOKE WINS PAC-12 COACHES CHOICE AWARDย
After making a nearly three-year return to the competitive lineup with a 9.850 on floor, senior Chloe Lashbrooke received Pac-12 Coaches Choice honors. Lashbrooke's freshman season in 2020 was cut short due to the pandemic, and she ruptured her Achilles tendon just before the 2021 season began. The Scottsdale, Ariz. native missed all of 2021 and was still recovering during 2022. This season, she made her return with an exhibition performance at the Wasatch Classic that scored 9.875 and earned her a spot in the competitive lineup at Washington a week later.
