Bria Northrop also tied her career-best with a 9.800, and Simpson brought in a 9.800 before Jenna Cashmore anchored with a 9.700. The team duplicated their vault score with a 48.800.
 
The Pioneers looked confident on balance beam and counted no falls toward the team score. Moredock was as solid and set herself a season record with a 9.825, and Northrop followed with a 9.825. Jones connected skill after skill for a 9.775, Taylor Vincent scored a 9.625 and Huner Vincent anchored with an excellent 9.750. Once again, TWU had a team score of 48.800 to sit in second place after the rotation with BYU leading by .175 points.

Abigail Versemann also flipped her way to a career-best with a 9.725, and Simpson kept the trend going by setting herself a career record with a 9.825. Erin Alderman came through with a riveting routine and career-best 9.875. Jones showed off her long lines and high tumbling for a 9.850, and Northrop followed with a 9.875 to guarantee the Pioneers a victory. The team score on the event was a 49.225 and their best event of the night.
