CORVALLIS, Ore. (Apr. 6) -- Alison Sigel-McAfee of Seattle Pacific University matched her season-high on balance beam to finish tied for eighth place at the NCAA West Regional gymnastics meet Saturday night at Gill Coliseum.

Fourth-ranked Utah won the team title and, along with runner-up Oregon State, will move on to the NCAA Championships later this month in Alabama.

The Utes scored 197.100 and the Beavers 196.800. Oklahoma (196.625) was a close third, followed by Washington (194.775).

Siegel-McAfee (Sr., Oakland, Ca./Redwood Christian) scored a 9.850 on beam, an event won by Utah's Theresa Kulikowski with a perfect 10.0 Kulikowski also won the bars (9.950) and all-around (39.675) crowns.

Siegel-McAfee, who had qualified as an at-large all-arounder, was 17th in that category with a four-event total of 38.450. She scored 9.675 on vault, 9.625 on bars and 9.300 on floor.

Seattle Pacific sends its team to Springfield, Mass., next week for the USA Gymnastics Collegiate Championships.
