MINNEAPOLIS ? Iowa State had its best meet of the season, posting a score of 193.625, but it wasn't enough to beat Minnesota Saturday at The Sports Pavilion. The Gophers also had their best showing of the season coming from behind to earn the 193.775-193.625 win.

Nikki Dilbert also won the vault and finished third in the all-around, just .125 behind Thompson. Both Thompson and Dilbert posted the best all-around scores of their Iowa State careers.
“We knew coming in that we weren't at full strength , so we didn't expect a monster score,” head coach Jay Ronayne said. “We used this opportunity to eliminate some of the mistakes we made in the first two meets and we still have a long road ahead. We have a lot of improvements to make. I do feel this team is heading in the right direction, though.”
