Washington travels to Minnesota this weekend for the first time since joining the Big Ten. The Huskies have had a challenging start to their season, yet to break the 195.000 mark. However, there were bright spots in Week 4, with Emily Innes and Mary McDonough tying for the floor title at Michigan, each scoring a 9.900. Washington will be aiming to replicate those strong performances as they look to gain momentum in this matchup.
Minnesota, on the other hand, is coming off a stellar 197.325 at Iowa in Week 4—a full point higher than their Week 3 score. The Gophers overcame some early struggles, notably from fifth-year Mya Hooten, who had difficulties on vault and bars. She was replaced in the floor lineup by junior Seria Johnson, who stepped up in a big way, securing a share of the floor title with a career-high 9.925. Despite Hooten’s absence from the floor lineup, Minnesota still posted an impressive 49.475. The Gophers have been on an upward trajectory this season and will be looking to keep that momentum going strong tonight.
