BOISE, Idaho — The No. 16 BYU gymnastics team earned a 197.000 for the first time since 2004 as the Cougars topped No. 11 Boise State's 196.325 at Taco Bell Arena on Thursday.

"A 197 is a score we have been chasing for a while now," BYU head coach Guard Young said. "We knew it was going to come but we weren't expecting it to happen on the road. To have Shannon get the exact score we needed to hit the mark was something special and something I will remember as a coach."

Shannon Evans scored a career-best 39.
