No. 2 Aggies at No. 6 OSU Saturday

The second-ranked Texas A&M equestrian team returns to the competition arena on Saturday at 10 a.m. when the Aggies head north to battle rival and sixth-ranked Oklahoma State.

COLLEGE STATION-The second-ranked Texas A&M equestrian team returns to the competition arena on Saturday when the Aggies head north to battle rival and sixth-ranked Oklahoma State. Show time is 10 a.m. inside the Animal Science Arena on the OSU campus.

The show will mark A&M's first full-squad competition of the semester and will wrap a five-show road swing. The Aggies (7-1) opened the spring back on Feb. 3, as the hunter seat team fell to SMU and the western team knocked off TCU. A&M has won 23 of its last 25 shows dating back to 2010.

OSU, meanwhile, is 5-4 on the year and has won three straight. The Cowgirls, who opened the spring with a loss at Auburn, have rebounded with wins over South Carolina, New Mexico State and most recently fourth-ranked Baylor, 13-11, last Saturday in Waco.

Texas A&M leads the all-time series, 10-4. The Aggies downed Oklahoma State 14-8 back on Nov. 5 at the Brazos County Expo Center, sweeping all four disciplines and taking three of four possible MVP awards.

The teams will ride six in each of the four disciplines for a total of 24 team points at stake.

Competing over fences for Texas A&M are seniors Lia Chafee and Maggie Earle, juniors Kori Pickett and Emily Williams, and freshmen Kat Barkema and Leah Chenelle. On the flat, A&M's lineup will feature Chafee, Earle, seniors Hannah Soibelman, Elizabeth Solch and Marisa Bernal, and freshman Haley Buchmiller.

The Aggies western lineup will be seniors Katie Lisabeth and Kelsey Adams, juniors Amanda Brightwell, Carey Nowacek and Cassie Mantor, and freshman Molli Jacobs in horsemanship; and seniors Courtney Dawe and Abigail Grabein, juniors Becca Murray, Courtney Kile and Emma Myers, and sophomore Lindsey Bernbaum in reining.
