FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Sophomore Ava Siegfeldt earned her first career perfect 10 and Jordan Bowers recorded her fifth career perfect score as the Sooners defeated No. 12 Arkansas 198.350-197.275 Sunday afternoon in Bud Walton Arena.

The Sooners have now posted seven-consecutive scores of 198-plus, the first school in NCAA history to achieve the feat.

Siegfeldt earned her first career perfect 10 in the No. 2 spot on beam, becoming the second Sooner this season to earn a 10.0 on the apparatus (Ragan Smith). Siegfeldt's 10 was the fifth-straight perfect mark on beam by a Sooner after Smith tallied four-straight before today's meet.

Bowers earned her second perfect score of the year and first on floor this season in the third rotation. The junior now has five career perfect marks, including two on floor. Bowers also received a 10.0 on bars on Feb. 2.

The Sooners won a share of every event title on the night. Bowers took home the all-around title with a 39.725 and floor with her perfect score. Siegfeldt took home the beam title, the first of her career. Audrey Davis won the uneven bars title with a near-perfect 9.975 and Hannah Scheible won vault with a 9.925.

Starting on bars, the Sooners used a 49.600 to Arkansas 49.350 on vault to take the lead after the first rotation.

In the No. 2 spot, Katherine LeVasseur nailed her handstands and stuck the landing for a 9.925. Faith Torrez stuck her double layout for a 9.875, followed by a stuck landing from Smith for a 9.9. Davis was nearly perfect in the No. 5 spot, showing off her impressive handstands and a stuck dismount for a 9.975. Anchoring was Bowers with a 9.9 of her own.

A 49.525 on vault extended the Sooners lead to 99.125-98.375 at the halfway point. Torrez led off with a 9.825, followed by a 9.9 from Wells on her Yurchenko 1.5.
