BERKELEY, Calif.?? The No. 1 Oklahoma men's gymnastics team closed out the regular season with two victories over No. 11 Cal and No. 18 UIC on Saturday evening inside Haas Pavilion in Berkeley, Calif.?

OU posted their best road score of the season with a 423.400 to extend the program winning streak to 113 consecutive wins and secure their fifth-straight undefeated regular season. The Sooners won all six event titles and OU gymnasts swept all six individual event titles, with senior co-captain Yul Moldauer claiming three (PH, SR, PH).

With the two tri-meet victories, the Sooners secured sole possession of the third longest winning streak in NCAA history, passing the UConn women's basketball streak of 111 which the team tied with its victory March 16 at Navy.

"We were happy to get a good road score and now set our focus on our conference championship," said Oklahoma head coach Mark Williams. "I'm really happy we've stayed in pretty good health and finished the regular season with a good meet with some good scores. We can take that and get prepared for the postseason."

OU began the meet strong on still rings, posting a 70.550, the first of four events the Sooners would go 70-plus. Moldauer claimed the event title with a 15.000 set in the anchor position. Fellow seniors Jake Maloley and Peter Daggett contributed respective routines of 14.350 and 14.000. Every Sooner gymnast went 13.600-plus on the first event of the evening for OU.?

Moving to floor exercise in the second rotation, Oklahoma put up a 71.000 to claim its second event title of the meet. Freshman Vitaliy Guimaraes was solid on the event again for the Sooners, claiming his third floor title of the season with a 14.700 routine. Two career highs were posted in the rotation, with freshman Spencer Goodell going for a 14.450 and sophomore Alexei Vernyi scoring 14.400.?

On pommel horse in the third rotation, the Sooners tallied 67.450. Moldauer claimed his second crown of the night, putting up a season-high 14.750. Fellow seniors Genki Suzuki (13.900) and Brian Schibler (13.700) chipped in big scores to help OU to its third-highest score on the apparatus of the 2019 season.?
