Fourth-ranked SMU equestrian is looking to continue its hot start to the spring season when it faces Delaware State and No. 9 UT-Martin on back-to-back days at Ned McWherter Agricultural Complex.
 
Friday's meet against the Hornets will begin at approximately 4:50 p.m. CT on the campus of the University of Tennessee at Martin. The meet on Saturday against the Skyhawks is set to begin at approximately 10:25 a.m. CT.
 
BACK TO BACK
The Mustangs are the defending back-to-back National Champions, marking the 10th national title for SMU Athletics. SMU is the third school to claim back-to-back national titles, joining Auburn and Georgia.
 
HORSEMANSHIP SHUTOUTS
SMU has been strong in horsemanship as of late, picking up three shutouts of the event during its fall slate. The Mustangs had a perfect 5-0 advantage in the event against No. 6 Georgia and No. 2 TCU, along with a 4-0 victory over No. 9 Baylor. SMU continued its success with a 5-0 result during the win over South Dakota State and a 4-0 result during the thrilling victory over No. 3 Georgia. In addition, the Mustangs have earned Horsemanship MOPs in all 10 of the meets this season, with Nya Kearns leading the way with seven.
 
NYA CONTINUING TO BREAK RECORDS
Against Auburn, Nya Kearns eclipsed two milestones for her collegiate career. Her victory in horsemanship marked the 50th of her career, and her MOP in the event earned her the 25th honor of her career. Both numbers are SMU records, and she now has the most horsemanship MOPs in NCEA history.
 
STRONG START FOR ELLI
So far this season, senior Elli Yeager has posted a strong start to open up her campaign. She is 7-3 on the flat for the year with four MOP honors. In addition, she was tabbed Flat Rider of the Month for the month of October. She also tallied a MOP in fences during the season opener against TCU.
 
UNDEFEATED THUS FAR
Nya Kearns sits at 10-0 in horsemanship, the only Mustang remaining with an unblemished record this season.
