"We have a mentally tough team and I'm so proud of how they handled things tonight," head coach Jeff Graba said. "To go on the road and to get this score against the No. 1 team in the country really shows the grit of our young team. What I take away from tonight is that we still have a lot in the tank and that's so encouraging."
The road score was the team's highest of the year away from the Plains and the third highest overall in 2021. In addition, the 197.025 was Auburn's fourth-best road score in program history.
Junior Derrian Gobourne was back in the all-around for the Tigers, setting a career-best with a 39.575. The Sarasota, Fla., put together big scores all night, earning a 9.95 on floor with one judge giving her a 10. She kicked things off with a 9.9 on bars and followed with a 9.875 on vault. Her 9.85 on beam to close out the night set a career best.
"The real thing for us tonight was to see how Derrian finished on beam and she did what we see in practice every day," Graba said. "It's fun to watch and to see her return to the all-around."
With 17 of 24 routines coming from sophomores and freshmen, Auburn saw big scores throughout the meet as the squad set or tied 10 season or career highs on the night.
"The crazy thing is that we are definitely one of the youngest team's in the country," Graba said. "If we do it right this year, we're going to be good for years to come. We're so excited to see this young team continue to blossom and establish a strong foundation for us."
Auburn (1-6, 1-5 SEC) closes out the regular season next week, hosting No. 6 Arkansas in Auburn Arena, March 5. The Tigers and the Razorbacks will go head-to-head at 7 p.m. CT on SEC Network+.
