While the Blugolds trailed heading into their final event of the night, the floor exercise, a strong performance helped lift Eau Claire to the victory. The Blugolds took five of the top six spots in the event, led by Danielle Schulzetenberg (Fr.-Maple Grove, Minn.) with a career-best 9.475. Eau Claire finished with a 45.925, a season-high. Eau Claire also performed well on the vault with the top three scores as they finished with a 44.850.

Samantha Howard (Sr.-St. Paul, Minn./Henry Sibley) and Rachel Behmer (Fr.-Maple Grove, Minn./West Lutheran) had the Blugolds' best finish, tying for fourth with a 9.000. The mark for Howard was a season-high and it was just the fourth time she finished with a 9.000 or better in 28 career routines on the bars.
