BERKELEY, Calif. – Senior Sydney Gonzales was sensational and led the Oregon State gymnastics team in a 197.950-196.775 loss to No. 2 California on Saturday afternoon at Haas Pavilion.

The Beavers, ranked 16th nationally, started on the uneven bars and scored a 49.150 as Jennifer McMillan led the way with a 9.875. Ellie Weaver posted a 9.850 and Natalie Briones score a 9.825, while Taylor DeVries, Sage Thompson and Jade Carey all finished with a 9.800.

After the midway point of the meet, the Beavers took to the floor and posted a 49.325. Garcia was spectacular with a career-best 9.900 that bettered the score of 9.875 that she had earlier this season at the Mean Girls Super 16 Championships in Las Vegas and against Brown.
