The Gophers posted scores of 49.175 on vault, 49.200 on bars, 49.250 on beam and 49.325 on the floor. Washington went 48.800 on vault, 49.000 on bars, 49.425 on beam and 49.050 on the floor.
Teryn Crump won the vault title with a 9.900 while Jordyn Lyden won on bars with a 9.925. On the balance beam, UW's Chelsea Hallinan won with a 9.975.
