UCLA @ Stanford Live Blog

Another day another tearful senior night. This one is at Stanford and the lone senior is Elizabeth Price.

This is the last meet at home for Ebee, so expect lots of tears and emotions. Most of which will be coming from you.

Follow along with the action, and refresh the page for updates. Most recent updates at the bottom.

First rotation - Stanford is on vault, UCLA is on bars.

Kaylee Cole VT Stanford -  FTY, good height, small hop on the landing, maybe a bit piked on landing. 9.75

Nia Dennis UCLA UB -  clean 1st hs, shap, missed her connection out of the shap to her bail and came off, repeats,  good final HS, stuck the DLO. 9.3

Lauren Navarro VT Stanford -  good FTY, nice amplitude,  small hop on the landing. Solid overall. 9.825

Peng Peng Lee UB UCLA - beautiful ray,  gorgeous on the HS, bhardwaj to shap 1/2, slight leg seps on the ankles, but beautiful and floaty, stuck her DLO dismount. 10 (judges! WTF,a ten for Peng but not for Ebee? COME ON. Where's Carol when you need her?)

Ebee's last home floor routine and her last home routine period I'm not crying, I swear - beautiful perfect double layout,  front tuck to perfect double back, double stag full,  sw side to popa, great splits and amplitude,  clean double pike to finish. Even UCLA was watching her and cheering her on. I'm going to ruin my make-up, it's a 10! In her final routine, her final home meet! My make up is totally ruined, there is just black mascara running down my face.


Final Scores -

I'll be back for more emotions on Tuesday at 8 p.m. Mountain time for UCLA's last home meet of the season. Make sure to have lots of tissues and some spare mascara handy.
