BRIEF: Men’s gymnastics closes out regular season with dominant victory over Cal

March 28, 2011, 1:45 a.m.

The Cardinal men’s gymnastic team scored a dominant dual-meet victory over rival California, scoring 360.950 to Cal’s 354.525. After the pommel horse and floor exercise, Stanford trailed the Golden Bears by over two points. But after every Cardinal gymnast scored better than a 15 in the vault, led by senior Alex Buscaglia’s score of 16.050, Stanford held control of the meet.

Senior Josh Dixon won the all-around for the meet with an overall score of 87.650. Stanford’s team score of 61.300 on the rings was also the team’s best score on the season, and its continued dominance on the horizontal bar–where the team is ranked first in the country–continued, led by Buscaglia’s impressive score of 16.300.
