Moore’s Perfect 10 Caps off the Upset Against No. 5 Auburn

COLUMBIA, Mo. — The No. 16 University of Missouri gymnastics team pulled off one its best performances in program history, defeating No. 5 Auburn, 197.450-196.550. Starting off strong in front of a gymnastics record 6,041 fans at the Hearnes Center, the Tigers opened the meet with their second-best performance on the opening two rotations and closed out the meet to earn the fourth-best score in program history.

VAULT

Missouri continued its outing with the vault rotation, led by Moore in the bottom half of the lineup with a perfect 10.000. It counted as the third perfect score in program history, and only the second Mizzou gymnast to tally a perfect ten following Lauren Schwartzman’s two perfect performances in 2004. The perfect vault score proved to be the first on the apparatus in program history, and first of Moore’s collegiate career.
