STILLWATER – The No. 4 Oklahoma State equestrian team (5-4, 3-1) defeated the eighth-ranked TCU Horned Frogs 14-10 at the Animal Science Arena Saturday.
The Cowgirls were led by senior Ally Blais, who picked up her eighth MVP on the year, this time in equitation over fences with a score of 80. The honor ties her career high for MVPs in a season, matching last year's total. Her performance sparked a 5-1 Cowgirl victory in fences. Juniors Erin Prutow and Alice White, sophomore Jordan White and freshman Ellie Sparks all joined Blais with wins in equitation over fences.
Blais and Sparks each picked up their second win of the day in equitation on the flat. Sophomore Sarah Brown added a win and an MVP in the discipline, giving Oklahoma State an 8-4 victory in the hunterseat.
Senior Rachell Shobe highlighted the western team with her third MVP performance of the season in reining. Joining Shobe with wins were fellow senior Leah Kuehn and sophomores Caroline Daniels and Rachel Houchin.
Junior Lauren Olson and sophomore Mamie Tomlin picked up the lone Cowgirl victories in horsemanship. Olson received MVP honors, giving Oklahoma State all four MVPs on the day.
The Cowgirl western team beat the defending reserve national champion western team 794.5-788 in raw scores. The raw scores are taken to determine a winner in the event of a tie in the head-to-head results.
Oklahoma State will be back in action Friday when they travel to Waco for a tangle with the seventh-ranked Baylor Bears.
