WACO, Texas--The No. 4 Oklahoma State equestrian team (6-6) came up short against the sixth-ranked Baylor Bears, 13-3, in the opening round of the women's equestrian Big 12 Championship at the Willis Family Equestrian Center on Friday.
"There are days when things do not go your way and we just had one of those days", head coach Larry Sanchez said. "I am just glad that we don't have them very often".
Freshman Marissa Dalton led the Cowgirls in horsemanship with a 149.5-142.5 victory over her Baylor counterpart, Ashley Garza. With the win she became the western team leader in head-to-head victories on the season with eight. Her score was the third highest of all 16 competitors in horsemanship.
Senior Rachell Shobe highlighted the Cowgirls' performance in reining, edging out her opponent 141.5-140. The win was her seventh of the year.
Junior Alice White picked up the lone head-to-head victory for the English team on the day. The win was her fifth of the season in equitation over fences and eleventh overall in the hunter seat.
Oklahoma State will look to bounce back against fourth-seeded Kansas State in the third-place competition tomorrow. The Wildcats are coming off a 10-6 loss at the hands of top-seeded Texas A&M. Action is set to begin at 9 a.m. CT.
