Bria Northrop captured the all-around title with a score of 38.650, leading the way as the Texas Woman's University gymnastics team posted its highest regular-season score since a win over Iowa in the 2018 season, winning 195.325 to 191.650 over Centenary on Friday night at the Gold Dome.
"I am so proud of this team and their performance tonight," said head coach
Lisa Bowerman. "We have known all along that the potential of this team is extremely high, and tonight they showed a glimpse of that potential. We are looking forward to returning home on Sunday to build off of tonight's performance."

Domi Bonzagni turned in a 9.8250 on the beam and
Daisy Woodring's 9.850 on the vault led the way. Bonzagni also turned in a 9.8250 on the vault.
