DAVIS – The No. 5 California women's gymnastics team swept all five podiums on its way to a first-place finish at the Davis Quad Meet Sunday afternoon at the University Credit Union Center. The Golden Bears (196.950) posted their second-highest score of the season followed by UC Davis (194.375) in second, Cornell (193.500) in third, and Alaska Anchorage (192.500) in fourth.
 
Senior Maddie Williams took home the individual all-around title with a score of 39.475 and placed fourth or better in the four events. She won the individual vault title, tied for second on the floor exercise, placed third on the uneven bars, and earned a share of fourth on the balance beam. Junior Casey Brown took home gold on bars, senior Ella Cesario won beam, and senior Mya Lauzon topped the field on floor.
 
Cal (6-2) began the afternoon on floor and got out to a hot start with back-to-back 9.875's from seniors Jordan Kane and Williams, a season high for both Bears, that earned them a share of silver on the event. Lauzon anchored the rotation with a season high of her own notching a 9.925 that gave her team a 49.250
 
Williams kept that momentum going on vault collecting the top score of the meet in the lead-off spot – 9.900. After three straight sub-9.80 vaults, junior eMjae Frazier (9.850) and Lauzon (9.875) closed out the event on a high note taking the other two spots on the podium to lead the Bears to a 49.175.
 
The Bears took a large lead over the other three schools into the third rotation – the uneven bars. Once again Cal would get some strong performances from its veterans with a 9.875 from Frazier that was good for second place and a 9.850 from Williams that was good for third. Just like last week, Kane was originally slotted in the anchor spot but was replaced late in the rotation by Brown due to the outcome of the first five routines. The junior did not disappoint, scoring a career-high 9.900 that gave Brown her first career event win and bolstered the Bears' bar score to 49.200.
 
Cal saved the best for last earning a season-high tying 49.325 on the balance beam in the final rotation. Cesario led things off by winning the event with a 9.900 and the five scores that followed were all 9.825 or better. Lauzon and Frazier split second place by collecting back-to-back scores of 9.875 and Williams posted a 9.850.
 
The final routine of the meet for the Bears was an exhibition by senior Abbey Scanlon and it brought the team and Cal fans in attendance to their feet. It was the first career routine for Scanlon, who has battled countless injuries, and it felt as if her entire story was told by the emotion on her face when she hit her dismount and was swarmed by her teammates.
 
After spending the first three weeks of the season on the road, Cal now returns to Haas Pavilion for its home opener and inaugural ACC meet this Sunday when No. 25 Clemson comes to town. First rotation is set for 2 p.m. PT on ACCNX.
