FORT WORTH – After an 8-2 victory in the Western discipline, the seventh-ranked TCU equestrian team beat Baylor 12-8, earning three Most Outstanding Performer Accolades.

DIRECTOR OF EQUESTRIAN HALEY SCHOOLFIELD
"I am very proud of the team and how they performed as a whole. What the Western side did today was fantastic, the Jumping Seat team had some very strong rides too. They handled a lot of adversity with fresh horses and dealing after a cold and rainy week. This was a big win to get momentum before going to Oklahoma State next week, then another big one after. It's a tough road and we are going to need to get better each and every day."
