Junior Paris Nottingham was named Co-Big 12 Rider of the Month in horsemanship. Nottingham went 1-0 in the event in October, while also picking up Most Outstanding Performer (MOP) honors after knocking off Baylor's Mary Brown, 69-68.

The eighth-ranked Cowgirls return to action this Saturday, Nov. 8, when they travel to Manhattan, Kan., to take on No. 2 Kansas State.
