TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) UCLA sophomore Jamie Dantzscher, already the NCAA all around champion, won the vault and a share of the floor exercise title Saturday night in the women's gymnastics championships.

Despite a stumble in her first event, Dantzscher assured the Bruins of a fifth straight year with at least two individual titles. They had won the last two team titles but fell to third on Friday night.

Dantzscher shook off her balance beam miscue with a 9.956 on the vault, edging Georgia sophomore Marline Stephens despite a stutter step on her second landing. Dantzscher had become only the second UCLA gymnast to claim five All-American honors in the same season on Thursday night.

Stephens placed second with a 9.95 despite using a routine called the "Yurchenko Layout Arabian" for the first time this year on her second vault.

"I was really surprised that I made it, actually," Stephens said.

She was also a little surprised that she didn't get a higher score from the judges than Dantzscher, who went last.

"I saw her take a little step, but maybe the judges didn't," Stephens said. "It is kind of frustrating for me, but I still have two years left. You can't let stuff like that bother you."

Alabama's Andree' Pickens took third on the vault with a 9.925.

Later, Pickens ended Dantzscher's two-event winning streak with a 9.925 on the uneven bars.

It was the 14-time All-American's second title, but her first since capturing the beam as a freshman in 1999. She gave fans a farewell wave after that final event, walking off the mat to a standing ovation.

Pickens had finished second in the all around and paced Alabama's championship run with three 9.95s on Friday night.

Dantzscher and LSU's Nicole Arnstad shared the floor title with a pair of 9.95s.

Michigan's Elise Ray won the balance beam with a score of 9.925 followed by a pair of Alabama gymnasts. Jeana Rice scored a 9.913 for second and the Tide's Kristin Sterner and Utah's Theresa Kulikowski followed with a pair of 9.9s.

Ray was the all around co-champion last year.
