Champaign, IL - In front of an Illinois record crowd of 6,813 at the State Farm Center, No. 5 UCLA defeated the Illini, 197.675-195.475. Jordan Chiles won the all-around (39.650), vault (9.950) and floor exercise (9.975), and Ciena Alipio won balance beam (9.950).

UCLA's freshmen were outstanding again. Ashlee Sullivan stuck her Yurchenko 1.5 vault for a career-high 9.925 and tied her career-high on floor exercise with a 9.950 to place second on both events. She also posted a team-best 9.875 on uneven bars. Tiana Sumanasekera tied her career-high on vault with a 9.900 – her third-straight meet with that score – and added a 9.925 on beam. Nola Matthews scored a career-best 9.875 on floor and scored 9.850 on bars, and Jordis Eichman scored 9.775 on beam.

The Bruins posted a season-high 49.450 on vault and added scores of 49.500 on floor, 49.475 on beam and 49.250 on bars to record their highest away score of the season.

That is a STICK by Ashlee Sullivan on her Yurchenko 1.5 and a new career-high 9.925!
