The lead was short-lived, however, after a 48.450 on beam in rotation three. Lee led off with a 9.9, but the Bruins had to count a fall and did not have any other score higher than Rosen's 9.825.
In fourth place going into the last rotation, the Bruins made it close by scoring 49.500 on floor, with Brooklyn Moors scoring a career-high 9.95, Campbell and Harris adding 9.925 and Reed scoring 9.9. However, it was not enough to move past the other three teams.
Harris tied for second in the all-around with a 39.550 and tied for first on bars with a 9.950. Campbell tied for first on vault with her 9.950. Emily Lee tied for first on beam with a 9.9.
The Bruins will next compete against Oklahoma, LSU and Utah at the Sprouts Collegiate Classic in West Valley City, Utah next Saturday.
