The Bruins returned the favor Friday night. UCLA counted two misses on its first event, the uneven bars, and Utah coasted to an easy 196.725 - 194.725 victory over the Bruins on Friday night at the Huntsman Center. UCLA's start was familiar to Utah co-head coach Greg Marsden. Two seasons ago he saw his team fall three times on uneven bars against the Bruins in Pauley Pavilion. "We went there — first meet of the season — and we started on bars, student section right there, and missed [three] out of six routines," Marsden said. "[UCLA] just started with a bad start and it kind of snowballed on them:' The meet wasn't without excitement, though, or even controversy. Coming into Friday night, Utah's Georgia Dabritz and UCLA's Samantha Peszek were ranked as the top two all-around gymnasts in the country. And they battled it out to the very end. Dabritz took the advantage early with a 9.950 score on the vault, besting the 9.90 score Peszek put up on the uneven bars. In the second event of the night, controversy struck. Dabritz delivered what to many, including one judge, was a near-flawless routine. The other judge, however, didn't think so highly of it. Dabritz received scores of 9.95 and 9.80 from the two judges on her bars performance and had to settle for a 9.875 combined score on the event. Utah inquired on the judging and the judge who rewarded the 9.80 said she saw four deductions in the performance. "I know where my mistakes were tonight," Dabritz said when asked about the judging. "It was a little bit uncharacteristic of me, so it's definitely an easy fix for me, but I know where they took them for sure:' As controversy surrounded the bars, Peszek inched closer to Dabritz in the all-around by posting a 9.90 vault, and after two events Dabritz held a 19.825 advantage to Peszek's 19.800. From there, Dabritz went to the beam while Peszek headed for the floor. The beam has been a challenge for Dabritz in the past, but for the second straight week she stayed on the apparatus and scored a 9.825. "It's no secret that I've struggled in the past with that, so it's really nice to go out there and hit it again': Dabritz said. "It was a little bit of a confidence-booster The performance wasn't good enough to keep the lead over Peszek, however, as the Bruin gymnast scored a 9.875 on her floor routine to take a .025 lead into the final event. Dabritz headed to the floor where she'd scored a 9.950 a week prior, but she didn't quite reach those heights on Friday. Dabritz scored a 9.925, but it wasn't good enough to overtake Peszek. Going after Dabritz's performance, Peszek put on a dazzling display on the beam, scoring a 9.950 to clinch the all-around win, 39.625 - 39.575. Dabritz said that even though she didn't win the all-around, she still thought the meet was a success. "I don't really pay too much attention to the scores throughout the meet. I was just glad that I was back in the all-around, hit four-forfour again," Dabritz said. "That's a big step forward for me:' As a team, though, Marsden wants more. "I'm going to sound a little bit like a broken record: There were some mighty good things, but I keep waiting for us to put it all together, and we just haven't gotten that done yet': he said. Utah will get another crack at it next Saturday when it heads to Tucson to square off against Arizona. r [e-mail] @millerjryan he U's School of Dentistry now has 86,000 square feet to house its growing program. The dentistry program, previously located in the Health Sciences Education Building, has moved into a recently completed three-story structure in Research Park called the Ray and Tye Noorda Oral Health Science Building. Rick Pike, development director of the School of Dentistry, said the new space matches the new program. The School of Dentistry, which began offering classes in fall of 2013, is still in its early development. Rachel Smith, a second-year student in the dentistry program, said she is amazed by the facility's technology. "It's making a big difference on our education — just the accessibility that we have [and] the space that we have': she said. "It makes it so that we can be fully prepared for when we serve the public:' One of her favorite additions is the simulation lab, where each student has access to a dummy for practice. The building accommodates up to 45 students in each class, and the dentistry program will likely expand as a result. The current two classes have about 20 students, which is a limit set by state legislation to regulate the number of dentistry graduates per year. Officials from the school hope to pass legislation to allow more students into The Daily Utah Chronicle the program, especially those who live out of state. Gary Lowder, assistant dean and professor in the School of Dentistry, was one of the founding fathers of the program. He and Lynn Powell, founding dean of the school, have worked for about 15 years to get dentistry its own home at the U. Lowder is pleased with the new building. "They are meeting every need for students, faculty and research," he said. "We're really excited:' Pike said the overall cost of the building and facilities was $36 million and was made possible by a $30 million donation from Ray and Tye Noorda. Construction took 18 months to complete. Another feature of the space is the clinic on the ground floor. Sixty spacious cubicles sit ready for use by patients from the public and dentists from the school. There is a pediatric unit as well, Pike said. Since the school is fairly new, simple dental care will be performed for now and the oral surgery labs will be used as students become more experienced. "Dentists do a lot of continuing education': Pike said. "We want this to become a real continuing education hub for dentistry along the Wasatch front. We've got the technology and the size to, we hope, do it:" [e-mail] @carolyn_webber GIMMICKS GOTCHAS JUST AN AWESOME RAZE!
