FRESNO, Calif. — Oklahoma State's fourth-ranked equestrian team dropped its matchup against No. 7 Fresno State via tiebreaker Friday at Fresno's Student Horse Center.

The two teams battled to a 9-9 tie, but OSU lost the tiebreaker advantage by 42.25 points. The loss dropped the Cowgirls to 4-3 overall and 1-2 in Big 12 competition, while FSU improved to 3-4 overall and 1-2 in the conference.

The meet began with Fences and Horsemanship, where the teams split the events.

The Cowgirls took Horsemanship 3-1. This is the sixth time this season OSU has claimed the advantage in the event.

Bella D'Onofrio led the way, scoring an event-high 75 as the second rider. The sophomore moved back into the win column and earned the first MOP of her career. Peyton Baxter earned her second win of the season, defeating Aubrey Gerdes, 74-72.75.

June Roberson continued her success this season as she bested Kendra Lee, 73-72.5. The Horsemanship captain has now scored a point in four-straight meets and is 6-0-1 in her junior season.

Alana Stanton and Hailey Olson tied at 73.25 in the final matchup of the event. The lone point for the Bulldogs came from Abby Goddard as she defeated Cowgirl Claire McDowall, 73.25-71.75.

In Fences, the Cowgirls dropped the event 3-1. The lone point came from freshman Gable Gering, who earned her second Fences win this season. She beat Molly Stewart, 77.5-72, while Mackenzie Carreras and Paloma Primavera tied at 78.5 points.
