The Bulldogs started their meet off on the floor (48.725). Chia and Sherry Wang had strong showings as they both scored 9.850 to tie for eighth overall. Chia had a strong routine with powerful tumbling and clean landings. Wang had an especially strong routine with difficult passes like her full twisting double back tuck. 
 
Yale continued onto the vault (48.600), where some gymnasts stood out. Chia tied for the fifth-highest score (9.800) in the competition, earning second team All-GEC recognition in the process, after a solid Yurchenko full. Wang and Aimee Titche also stood out with each getting a 9.750. Titche landed a difficult Yurchenko 1.5.
 
Yale's bars rotation was historic as the Bulldogs earned their highest bars score ever (49.175).

She had a near-perfect routine with clean handstands and high-flying releases to earn a 9.950. Sarah Wilson and Kendal Toy also scored strong 9.825s. 
 
The team concluded the meet on the beam (48.325), where the Bulldogs had to overcome two falls.

Chia's all-around score earned her first team All-GEC honors. Wilson's all-around score of 38.400 placed her fifth and earned her second team All-GEC recognition.
