SALT LAKE CITY – The No. 4 Red Rocks were on the road again, this time in Berkley to take on a surging No. 3 Cal Golden Bears team.
Both teams had season high scores the previous week and according to Utah head coach Carly Dockendorf, the Red Rocks were looking forward to going against one of the best in the country.
The Red Rocks performed well through the meet posting a 49.400 on bars, 49.300 on vault, 49.525 on floor and49.425 on beam. The effort helped Utah achieve a score that will help their overall NQS moving forward but were unable to walk away with the victory over Cal, 198.100-197.70o.
Final from Berkley. Overall, not a bad meet for Utah and they definitely helped their NQS. Just wasn’t enough for the W over Cal.#Utes https://t.co/9sbSOzxC0K
