Austin Epperson and Anton Stephenson combined for three event titles, but the No. 6 Nebraska men's gymnastics team fell short against No. 8 Iowa, losing 408.30-400.00 Monday in Iowa City, Iowa.
Epperson, a senior, won his second and third titles of the season with first-place finishes on floor exercise and parallel bars. Stephenson won the vault, his sixth title this season.
Stephenson's score of 14.70 sparked a season-best team score (71.75) on vault, which also including a pair of 14.35s from Daniel Leal and Alex Magsam. That gave the Huskers the edge after three rotations.
But Iowa scored 71.
