The consistency that OSU had been enjoying for the past 8 competitions was rattled on Sunday when Oregon State suffered mistakes in the beginning of lineups.
"We had some mistakes and some difficulties in the first part of lineups on mostly all of the events," Rodriguez said. "So I think that's something that we need to work on in the gym before we go to Utah. Making sure that the front of the lineup realizes that they are just as important as the end of lineup."
Another factor for OSU will be their competitive endurance.
"It was a long weekend, having two meets in one weekend, which we haven't done all year," assistant head coach Michael Chaplin said. "They handled it pretty well, but I do think that we saw a little bit of fatigue by the Sunday meet."
According to Chaplin, Oregon State still needs to work on consistency when presented with back-to-back competitions.
"What we learned is this is how post-season is going to be," Lanz said. "If we make it to Super Six we are going to compete potentially three days in a row. We learned what we need to do and how we need to prepare ourselves."
The Beavers and the Utes will battle it out Friday starting at 6 p.m.
