Lead by the Pacific 10 Conference Player of the Week, the No. 14 Arizona gymnastics team heads to No. 19 Oregon State today at 8 p.m.
The Wildcats (6-1, 2-1 Pac-10) will carry last week's victory (196.750-195.200) over California into the dual meet in Corvallis, Ore.
Despite their ranking, the Beavers (3-6, 1-2) have lost two meets in a row, including last week's defeat at Arizona State, when OSU set a school record for points in an away meet (196.700).
Gymnastics rankings do not include wins and losses. Rather, a team's season average will be used until Monday, when regional qualifying scores will be used.
The only two meets hosted in Gill Coliseum have seen the Beavers' tail come down on two opponents, including a 196.050-196.025 squeaker over Washington.
Oregon State averages 195.430 per meet. Arizona averages 196.010, stemming from the No. 4 rank on vault (49.220) and No. 15 on the bars (48.975).
UA junior Monica Bisordi earned player of the week honors for her performance against the Golden Bears by finishing first in every event en route to a dominating all-around title (39.750). The performance tied her personal best at all-around and is second in school history.
The highest-ranking individual for Arizona is senior Andi McCabe, who ranks No. 11 in the nation on vault (9.900). Bisordi ranks No. 20 on floor (9.900) and junior Katie Johnson (9.890) takes the last spot in the top 25 of that same event.
