Montana Fairbairn helped lead the Seawolves gymnastics team to the team's 10th-highest score in program history. Despite the strong showing from the Seawolves, the Sacramento State Hornets edged out the overall victory 195.15 to 193.325. Fairbairn tied for first on the floor exercise with Sacramento State’s Sarah Lutrel. Several Seawolves had career-high scores in their events: Maribelle Albert with a 9.7 and Hannah Boyd earned a 9.625 on the vault, Jamilia Duffus secured a 9.825 on the uneven bars and Breann Spain with a 9.725 on the balance beam.
