Auburn, Ala. - Auburn's Lindsey Puckett earned her third all around title for the season and Julie Dwyer captured her first floor title of the year, but it was not enough for the No. 16 Tigers (4-5, 0-4 SEC) who fell 197.125-195.475 to the No. 1 Gym Dogs (6-1, 4-0 SEC).

"We got off to a great start and it looked to be everything we wanted and then the wheels came off the cart," said Auburn head coach Jeff Thompson. "We had three incredible events tonight including the best floor routines of the year, but the mystery of uneven bars continues to elude us. How did Charlie Brown put it? AAARRRGGGHH."

Auburn posted a season high 49.025 team score on floor. Dwyer scored 9.925 for first place. Puckett placed second scoring 9.900, her highest floor score this season. Freshman Rachel Inniss made her collegiate debut on floor scoring 9.825.

The Tigers started the meet strong on vault, with four gymnasts tying for third with a 9.850; Dwyer, Puckett, A.J. Mills and Krissy Voss. Freshman Lauren Brzostowski debuted with a 9.775. However, Auburn struggled on bars scoring 47.925. The highest AU score was Puckett with a 9.775.

Puckett also led the team with a 9.900 on beam. Auburn's team beam score was a 49.075. The Gym Dogs scored a pair of 9.925's on beam and senior Nikki Childs scored a 9.950. The Dogs led the Tigers on vault, bars and beam.

Auburn will travel to Fayetteville, Ark., on Feb. 22, to face the Arkansas Gym'Backs. The Tigers return to the Plains on Feb. 29, to host Illinois in Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum.
