Moore, Schreiber Earn Event Titles In Defeat At No. 4 Alabama

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The No. 3-ranked University of Missouri gymnastics team secured two event titles from junior Jocelyn Moore and graduate Sienna Schreiber, but could not upend No. 4 Alabama, 197.225-196.475, in a top-five clash Friday night at Coleman Coliseum. The Tigers suffered their first defeat of 2024, as their record dips to 3-1 with an 0-1 SEC record, while the Crimson Tide maintain their undefeated start to 2024 with a 4-0 record and a 1-0 conference mark.

Moore anchored the vault lineup, posting a 9.925 to help Mizzou surpass Alabama in vault scoring, 49.375-49.150. For Schreiber, she rounded out the night with a 9.950 on beam in the Tigers’ last routine of the meet. 

However, Alabama produced four strong rotations, never dipping below 49 while scoring the best rotation of the night with a 49.550 on bars to create separation through two routines. Luisa Blanco won the all-around title for the Crimson Tide by notching a trio of 9.9 routines to earn the bars and floor titles.

FIRST ROTATION

For the first rotation on bars, Missouri scored a 48.950, snapping its streak of 13 consecutive meets of scoring 49 or higher on the apparatus. The Tigers received its highest scores at the end of the lineup, as graduate Sienna Schreiber and senior Mara Titarsolej each produced a 9.850.  

On vault, Alabama secured the first 9.9 of the meet, as Luisa Blanco scored a 9.900 to help the Crimson Tide take a 49.125-48.950 edge.

SECOND ROTATION

On vault, the Tigers earned a spot in the record book at No. 5 on the single-meet vault scoring list by producing a 49.375. All six Tigers collected a score of 9.8 or higher with the two final competitors — freshman Hannah Horton and junior Jocelyn Moore producing Mizzou’s first 9.9s on the apparatus this season. Horton claimed a 9.900 — her first at the college level — while the two-time WCGA Regular Season All-American Moore secured a 9.925 to earn the event title.

Alabama notched a 49.550 on bars with four members of the Crimson Tide scoring higher than 9.9. Blanco claimed the event title with her 9.950 routine as the hosts led by .350 at the halfway point.

THIRD ROTATION

For a second consecutive meet, a pair of Tigers picked up scores of 9.9 or higher as Mizzou won the rotation, 49.350-49.050. Horton and Moore both reached the 9.900 mark for a second consecutive meet, while Schreiber and junior Alonna Kratzer supplemented them with a 9.850 and 9.875, respectively. 

On the beam, the Crimson Tide posted their lowest rotation score of the evening. Blanco helped Alabama crack the 49 mark with her 9.925 to anchor.

FOURTH ROTATION

While Schreiber captured the beam title with a stunning 9.950 to anchor the Tigers, Mizzou could not gain ground on Alabama in the final rotation.

The Crimson Tide posted a 49.350 on floor, meaning Alabama and Mizzou tied on the apparatus.
