Katie Heenan scored a perfect 10.0 on vault to help top-ranked Georgia beat No. 11 Arkansas 197.900-195.950 on Saturday at Stegeman Coliseum.
The Gym Dogs (8-1, 6-0 SEC) finished the season unbeaten in SEC matchups for the third season in a row and eighth time in 12 years.

Heenan's perfect score boosted her to the all-around title (39.600) in her first meet of the season in which she competed in all four events.
Georgia, however, received a big blow in the final rotation when Courtney Kupets was injured attempting her first tumbling pass on floor exercise.
"It was a big distraction losing Courtney," associate head coach Jay Clark said. "We knew after she grabbed her Achilles it didn't look good. We're going ahead and counting on not having her back."
Heenan's 10.0 was Georgia's first perfect score since Ashley Kupets' 10.0 on vault last year against Michigan. Georgia visits Michigan next Friday.
