DIRECTOR OF EQUESTRIAN HALEY SCHOOLFIELD
"What a privilege it is to be back to this facility and to have the chance to compete for a national title. The challenges of this year have been like none before and our girls have rose to the occasion and overcome everything that has faced them. We expect a great battle tomorrow with Georgia and give it everything we have like we have done all season long."
SCOUTING THE BULLDOGS
Georgia (4-4, 3-3 SEC) was the runner-up in the SEC falling to top-seeded Auburn, 15-5, in the SEC Championship which the Bulldogs hosted. The UGA group is led by first team Fences All-American Isabelle Heckler. Ali Tritschler and Hayley Mairano were also named honorable mention All-Americans and round out a strong Jumping Seat team.
Sara Lewis and Courtney Blumer lead the Western corps with a 9-4-2 record between the two in Horsemanship and Reining. The pair were both named All-SEC riders.
THE ALL-TIME SERIES
The Bulldogs lead the all-time series, 7-4. The two sides are even at one win apiece when facing off at a neutral site. The last meeting between the two teams was last season in what was the season finale, the Horned Frogs downed UGA 10-9 on senior day. When facing off at the National Championship, TCU is 1-0 after upsetting the Bulldogs in the semifinals, 10-5, in 2016.
