It's hard to be perfection. Florida's top-ranked gymnastics team scored three 10s Friday night to help beat No. 5 Alabama in Gainesville.

The Gators won 198.175 to 197.525, but there were a few positives Alabama can take back to Tuscaloosa. The Tide's team score was a season high, bettering the 197.175 recorded two weeks ago against Missouri.

And after last week's beam disaster, the Tide posted the nation's highest score (49.550) on the apparatus in the final rotation Friday night. It was highlighted by 9.975 by Aja Sims and a 9.950 for Lauren Beers.

But Florida's 198.175 was the highest score in the country this season. It got there with a few flawless routines.

Bridget Sloan hit a 10 on the beam after Alex McMurtry did the same on the bars. On the final rotation, Kennedy Baker also hit a perfect 10.0.

For Alabama, Beers also hit a 9.90 on the vault, a 9.925 on the bars and 9.875 on the floor. That was good for second in the all-around (39.650), behind only Sloan's 39.775.

The loss broke a two-year winning streak for Alabama in regular-season meets with the three-time defending national champions.
