The Michigan women's gymnastics team is putting it unblemished home record to the ultimate test on Saturday.

After sweeping four previous dual meets in the Crisler Center this season, the No. 11 Wolverines are welcoming the top-ranked and undefeated Oklahoma Sooners to Ann Arbor on senior night.

Michigan will need to be at its best to pull the upset over Oklahoma, which is led by star freshman Maggie Nichols and senior Chayse Capps. Nichols is the NCAA's leader in the all-around, beam, and floor, while Capps ranks in the top 10 in the all-around, beam, and floor.

The Wolverines, meanwhile, will turn to a pair of standout seniors in their 19th all-time meeting with OU. In the final home meet of their careers, Nicole Artz and Talia Chiarelli are looking to go out in style.

Last Week

The Wolverines posted their second-highest score in team history in their win over Southern Utah with a 197.825 on Sunday. Michigan showed huge improvement on bars (49.55) along with continuing to improve on floor with an impressive 49.600. Emma McLean has come on strong for the Wolverines on vault, adding a Yurchenko 1 1/2 to the lineup and posting a 9.95 in her two competitions.

Oklahoma continued its dominance by sweeping two competitions last weekend -- one at home and the other on the road. In their home competition on Friday, the Sooners posted a strong 197.675 in a win over Georgia. They finished off the weekend at Texas Woman's on Sunday with an even better performance of 198.175 and showed their depth while competing without stellar all-arounder Maggie Nichols.

Capps was gorgeous as always on beam for the Sooners at TWU:
