UCLA went into the second rotation armed with a 0.275 lead and held strong with a 49.275 on vault despite missing two regulars in Campbell and Reed. Freshman Alex Irvine and sophomore Maddie Anyimi filled in admirably in their place, as Irvine scored 9.85 on her first career vault, and Anyimi scored a season-best 9.8. Harris provided the undeniable highlight of the rotation, scoring her second career perfect 10 and UCLA's first 10 of the year on her flawless Yurchenko 1.5 vault.
