Nov 10 | Equestrian
WACO, Texas (NCEA/SMU) - After defeating the sixth-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks and coming up just short of No. 2 Auburn, the SMU equestrian team has been inked at No. 9 on the latest National Collegiate Equestrian Association poll, announced the NCEA, Tuesday.
"We are excited to make the top-10, but we have to work even harder to get into the top-five which is our goal for the year," said head coach Carol Gwin.
Defeating the then-ranked No. 6 South Carolina Gamecocks was the last victory over a ranked team at home since the 10-9 win against the then-ranked No. 5 Oklahoma State Cowgirls, March 8 of last season.
The Mustangs return to action Nov. 20, as they host the No. 2 Baylor Bears at Sleepy P Ranch. The meet will wrap up SMU's fall schedule and mark the fourth of the five meet homestand. It is slated for a 10 a.m. CT start.
