FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KMIZ)

The No. 15 Mizzou gymnastics took down No. 17 Arkansas with a program-high team score on Friday night. MU won 197.850 to 196.650.

The Tigers finished with the top scorer in three out of the four rotations in Fayetteville.

Sophomore Jocelyn Moore notched a 9.975 on the vault. That score comes just one week after her first-career perfect, 10 in the win against No. 5 Auburn on Feb. 17. Moore also finished with the top score on the floor, recording a 9.975, once again.

Fellow sophomore Amari Celestine was MU's top scorer on the uneven bars. Her routine scored a 9.925. Her teammates Sienna Schreiber and Helen Hu were right behind her in second and third place, respectively.

All six of MU's beam routines scored better than a 9.9 on Friday, as well.

Up next - Mizzou will return home to finish out regular-season SEC action against No. 9 Alabama on Friday, March 3rd.
