In a dual critical to Oregon State’s Pac-12 regular season title hopes, this matchup has become increasingly exciting due to Arizona State’s recent surge up the rankings. It’s a must-win if the Beavers want to win the conference outright, while the Sun Devils would love to play spoiler to finish their Pac-12 slate over .500.
Arizona State is in its best two-meet stretch of the season and looks like a team that finished ninth in the NCAA two seasons ago. Hannah Scharf, their rock for the last four seasons, is at her best, scoring in the 39.6s for the first time in her career. Her growth, paired with standout performances like Sarah Clark’s 9.975 on bars and Anaya Smith’s 9.9s on vault, has Arizona State carrying tons of positive momentum right now at the perfect time.
Oregon State’s got plenty of positive energy, too, coming off a program-best 198.075 last weekend via a pair of Jade Carey perfect scores. She continues to take the program to new heights, and the Beavers defending their co-championship from last season would go a long way in setting the stage for a postseason run. Beam and floor have been stellar for Oregon State lately, so finding a way to get out to a hot start will be its biggest test today.
