Lords and Jacobsen Win Perfect 10.0s--Cougars Take Second

PROVO -- For the first time in BYU history, a perfect 10.0 was scored on both the beam, and the floor exercise, as the Cougars competed Friday night in the Marriott Center.

Junior Kari Lords received a perfect 10.0 on her beam routine, and Brogan Jacobsen, also a junior, got a 10.0 on her crowd-pleasing floor routine. BYU has never received perfect 10.0s on these events.

The only other perfect ten in BYU history came from Christy McAdams in 1992 for the vault.

"Kari really put it together on her beam routine, and Brogan just lit up the floor," BYU head coach Brad Cattermole said. "Individually we had some awesome routines, but as a team, we just didn't have the energy."

The Cougars placed second overall in the closely-scored quad meet with a score of 195.425. Opponent Southern Utah took first with a 195.875. Third place went to Central Michigan with a 195.250, and Utah State took fourth with a 195.225.

BYU struggled getting the meet started on the vault, scoring a 48.275, but picked it up on the bars getting their second highest bar score of the season with a 49.250. The team struggled on the beam until Lords stepped up to win her 10.0. The team beam average was a 48.300.

When the Cougars took the floor for warm-ups, Lords twisted her ankle on a tumbling pass, taking her out of competition. With senior Brooke Haskett out with a knee injury, the Cougars have had to adjust their floor line-up. BYU beat it's season high floor score with a new high of 49.600, and Jacobsen won her 10.0.

Another highlight of the floor was junior Trisha Ashton who scored a career high 9.900.

"Trisha really came through for us tonight on the floor," Cattermole said. "She knew that she had to step up, and she certainly did."

Ashton also tied for second on the vault with a 9.875

Other Cougars who received career highs Friday night include freshman Lisa Willis who received a career high 9.825 on the bars and 9.925 on the floor. Senior Lindsay Butterfield broke her career record on floor with a 9.950, and tied for second place for the event.

Lords also broke her season high on the bars with a 9.900, and tied for second place for the event.

The Cougars take on the Oregon State Beavers next Saturday at 1 p.m. in the Smith Fieldhouse.
