The No. 5 UCLA women's gymnastics team hosted Washington at Pauley Pavilion on Friday night for a prime-time Big Ten matchup.

The Bruins continued to demonstrate just how hungry they are for a national championship by flexing their deep roster in a 198.150-195.825 win over the Huskies.

Jordan Chiles earned another perfect score on her floor routine, capping off a night that would give her another all-around individual title.

While Chiles’ performance stood out, UCLA coach Janelle McDonald was pleased to see a total team effort.

"When athletes that are outside the lineup one week are pushing to get in, it makes everybody better,” McDonald said. “And that’s exactly what’s happening right now.”

Added UCLA junior Sydney Barros: “It really comes down to the trust that we build.”

Instead of soaking in the third consecutive meet with a perfect score, Chiles praised Barros, who competed in three events for the second straight meet.
