LSU opened on bars scoring 49.350. Edney, Finnegan, and Priessman led the way with scores of 9.925.

On vault, Edney scores a 9.875, as the tigers finished the second rotation with a team score of 49.150.

Then while warming up for floor, McKenna Kellley injured herself and was was pulled from the floor lineup.

Freshman Bailey Ferrer got her first action as she filled in for Kelley. She earned a 9.550 after a rough landing and stepping out of bounds.

LSU went into the last rotation tied, but after mistakes on beam, including a fall by Christina Desiderio, Auburn was able to pull out the win.
