Kaitlyn Clark stuck the landing and Dana Duckworth pumped her fist.

After last week's disastrous showing on beam, Clark assured Alabama it wouldn't carry over against No. 1 and defending national champion Florida. The Crimson Tide, coached by Duckworth, didn't have any mishaps on the beam after three falls a week ago.

As a result, Alabama took down the nation's top-ranked team. The No. 7 Tide led the whole way to take the 197.4-196.8 win. A crowd of 13,778 in Coleman Coliseum witnessed Alabama take down a higher-ranked Florida team at home.

Clark had the fifth fall-free beam that assured Alabama it would not have to count a miscue.

"That was a loooot better than last week," Duckworth said with a smile.

Lauren Beers said there was much less anxiety on the beam this week compared to last Friday at Arkansas. The energy was much better too.

"After last week and more than focusing on skills, we just focused on our overall energy on the team," Katie Bailey said. "I noticed a big difference on every event, not just beam. It definitely helps having 17 people behind you, screaming for you. It's nice to know they're behind you."

Alabama held a 0.250 lead entering the final rotation. Tide gymnasts held up four fingers like the football team does before the fourth quarter. The first Gator on the beam, Kennedy Baker fell immediately.

Alabama finished off the win on the floor, where it tops the national rankings. Its 49.350 was more than enough to finish off the win.

Clark had the performance of the night on the vault. One judge gave her a perfect 10.0, but she settled on a 9.975 after getting a 9.5 from the other judge. Duckworth said Clark's animated reaction was enough to send a jolt through the team.

"It just sets the tone," Duckworth said."It gives you a confidence to move forward and know that if you nail your routines, you have an opportunity for a perfect score. Or close to it."

Alabama heads back on the road to face Kentucky next week. Carrying the energy and emotion to Lexington will be the focus after coming out flat last week in the loss at Arkansas.
