MANSFIELD, Texas - Nationally ranked TCU used a 6-2 advantage in Western events on Saturday to upend No. 9 Fresno State, 10-6."I was so proud of this team today. We got our Equitation on the Flat team back on track, which was awesome," said head coach Gary Reynolds. "The Western team was just incredible today with a very different lineup today. Lyndsi Hardin stepped up and brought home her first MVP, while Chloe Baker once again in the clean-up position captured an MVP in Reining."
