Oct 26, 2018 | Equestrian
COLLEGE STATION –The No. 2 Texas A&M equestrian team defeated No. 10 Fresno State, 17-3, Friday at the Hildebrand Equine Complex.
With the win, the Aggies are 4-0 to start the season for the first time since the 2011-12 campaign.
"I couldn't be more proud of the team today," head coach Tana McKay said. "Hosting a home meet is a big responsibility, and the team worked really well as a whole. We had some great rides. We go out there and try to ride mistake free, and for the most part, we did that. They were on it today. I am really proud of them. We gained a lot of momentum as we head into a tough meet at Auburn next week."
The Aggies jumped out to an early 4-1 lead after Equitation over Fences as Rebekah Chenelle opened the meet by defeating Hana Beiling, 87-75. Kelsey King followed suit, scoring an 83 on Converse, defeating Erica Rosinski's 76. Caroline Dance notched Most Outstanding Player (MOP) recognition as she topped Cecily Hayes, 86-72. Haley Redifer outscored Frannie Twohig, 79-70, to conclude the event.
In the Western arena, Texas A&M swept Horsemanship, 5-0. Alex Albright earned MOP honors and tallied the first point of the event for the Aggies as she scored a 76.5 against Taeya Harle's 69. Sarah Orsak defeated Kameron Thorn, 74.5-70, before Kyra Bouma added a point for the Maroon & White by scoring a season-high 76 against Hannah Buij's 74. Earning the final two points were Katie Conklin who outscored Lexi Miller, 75-69.5, and Ashley Davidson, who earned a 75 to down Nicole Campbell's 71.5.
The Maroon & White extended their lead to 13-2 after earning four points in Reining. Darby Gardner led off the event with a 70.5-67 triumph over Shea Gilson, as Marissa Harrell recorded her first MOP honor following a 72-70.5 victory against Kara Gustafson. Kalee McCann topped Paige Barton, 70.5-68.5, prior to Courtney Yohey's 69-68 win over Allison Nordvall.
