In a meet that went to the team with the fewest mistakes on the balance beam, the No. 6 Alabama gymnastics team fell at No. 12 Arkansas, 196.325-196.175 in front of 3,164 fans in Barnhill Arena Friday night.
"We're certainly disappointed," UA head coach Dana Duckworth said. "This isn't the kind of performance that we expect of ourselves. We will go back in the gym this week and we'll focus in on correcting mistakes and moving forward."
On the balance beam, Arkansas had to count a fall in its final tally, but the Crimson Tide had to count two, which allowed the Razorbacks slip past Alabama for the win.
"This was very atypical of Alabama on the balance beam," Duckworth said. "We haven't had more than one fall in any of our intrasquads throughout our preparation for the season."
