A remarkable comeback by the No. 5-ranked Ute gymnasts fell five one-hundredths of a point short in a 196.075-196.025 loss to top-ranked UCLA before a sold-out Wooden Center crowd on Jan. 8 in Los Angeles. Trailing by a full point after one rotation, the Utes steadily gained ground on the final three rotations, but couldn't quite catch the Bruins after their disastrous start on the bars. Stephanie McAllister won the balance beam (9.85) and Georgia Dabritz won the floor (9.90). McAllister and Corrie Lothrop finished second and third in the all-around, scoring 39.325 and 39.275, respectively.SERIES SHORTS
