This past Sunday, the Oregon State University women’s gymnastics team faced off against the University of Washington Huskies in Gill Coliseum.

Regardless of any outcome expected in the long-awaited Super Bowl game following the meet, the Beavers set the good vibes for the rest of the day as they dominated over the Huskies with a score of 197.275-194.450.

The Beavers showed out at the meet with high individual scores as well as group scores during this DAM Change meet, hosted by the DAM Worth It organization on campus. This meet was also incredibly special as it was senior night, which caused some great emotions for all the seniors on the team, such as senior gymnast Madi Dagen.

“I think I just felt overwhelmed by love and there was so much passion out on the floor tonight and I think that helped us do really well,”Dagen said.

Graduate student gymnast Kaitlyn Yanish also had nothing but positive things to say about this meet that seemed to be more than just a regular matchup.

“I think any time we have one of these meets where we do gymnastics for something bigger than us, we always do our best,” Yanish said. “And I really feel like we went out there and celebrated all the girls that have come long before us and all of the seniors we celebrated tonight”.

All eyes seemed to be on Olympic gold medalist and OSU freshman Jade Carey, who has scored 10’s across the board for the past 3 consecutive meets and has come out on top in the individual scores as well. Carey was an all-around competitor for the vault, bars, beam, and floor, along with Dagen.
