BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The No. 3 Texas A&M equestrian team opened Southeastern Conference competition with a win over No. 7 South Carolina, 14-6, on Saturday at the Hildebrand Equine Complex.
The Aggies dominated the Gamecocks in Reining capturing all five available points. Emmy-Lu Marsh highlighted the event earning Most Outstanding Performer honors with a score of 76 on Boss defeating USC's Mary Margaret Coats' ride of 74.5. It marked the fourth career MOP for Marsh and her first of the season.
The Maroon & White also took a 3-2 win in Flat. Devon Thomas (75), Brooke Brombach (75) and Maggie Nealon (89) all picked up points for the Aggies. Thomas took down Maya Clarkson's 70 points on Diablo, Brombach outscored Natalie Jayne's 68 with Zeus and Nealon bested Emily Giorgio's 77 points on Queen, picking up MOP honors.
Texas A&M took an 8-2 lead over South Carolina at the break.
Coming out of the break, South Carolina looked to make things interesting, capturing three of the five Fences points. Morgan Rosia secured her point besting South Carolina's Nina Columbia, 85-82, as well as Fences MOP. Brooke Brombach defeated Trinity Hammerschidt, 75-68, to pick up the other Texas A&M point.
Heading into the final stanza, the Aggies took care of business collecting four more points in Horsemanship. Millie Anderson scored a Horsemanship-high 78 points on her way to the Aggies fourth MOP of the day. Ella Petak (76), Cori Cansdale (74.5) and Hanna Olaussen (74.5) each scored points for the Maroon & White.

Texas A&M Quotes
Head Coach Tana McKay
On today's performance…
"I'm really happy with the way they rode. Any SEC competition is going to be tough. The Western team was spot on and was great. The Reiners swept their event again for the second time, so they're doing exactly what we planned for and they were spot on as well."
On MOPs for every event…
"Sweeping the MOPs is the icing on the cake. It's just one more accolade to show them that their hard work is paying off."
On preparing for Georgia…
"We take it one meet at a time. Obviously, that was on our mind, but this week was all about prepping for this meet, so it's nice to have two full weeks. We've got the meet paperwork and we've got the information, so we'll be able to settle down and not rush thins, but take care of some detail. There's always stuff to learn and fix."
