In another wild show on the West Coast we saw our first major shake-up of the 2018 season. The Santa Clara Vanguard ended Blue Devils win streak and claimed the top spot in Stanford, California.

With a score of 72.700, SCV was able to jump past the Blue Devils' 72.100. Vanguard swept the GE caption by .400 and the Music captions by .250. Blue Devils had the edge in visual, but only by .050.
