Morabito won her seventh career title, including her fifth this season. It is her fourth title on the floor this season and the fifth of her career.

Head Coach Kristin White
"Disappointed with the outcome in the competition today. We weren't aggressive and we didn't compete to win. We cannot afford to have flat energy and worry about scores. Landings need to clean up as we head to the final stretch of the season. We will get back to the gym, work on details, and rebound for Friday.

"I was proud of Isabella stepping into the beam lineup for the first time this season. She did a great job being confident. Those are the performances we want to see when athletes get the opportunity.

"Proud of Marley (Peterson), she has continued to perform well in the exhibition spot. She really wants to be in the floor lineup and is proving that she is ready."
