A series of 9.900-plus scores helps the Bruins win the late session, sending them into a Saturday meet against Michigan, Missouri and Iowa.
RALEIGH, N.C. — UCLA placed first in the second session of its NCAA Regional on Thursday, recording a season-high away score of 197.800 to beat second-place Michigan by four-tenths of a point.
In addition to UCLA and Michigan, Missouri and Iowa also advanced to the regional final, knocking out No. 6 LSU with the top scores from the first session. The four teams will compete for two spots in the NCAA Championships, which are scheduled for April 14-16 in Fort Worth, Texas. The Bruins finished the regular season with three consecutive dual meet wins at home, but they finished fourth at the Pac-12 Championships. That neutral site event was still UCLA’s best showing outside of Westwood this season, but the Bruins bettered themselves on Thursday thousands of miles from Pauley Pavilion.
Chiles stuck a big Kazamatsu full and scored a career-high 9.925, and Campbell closed with a huge stuck Yurchenko full that earned her the same score.
