HARRINGTON, Del. — Fourth-seeded UC Davis swept the flat and reining events and went on to defeat South Dakota State, 15-5, in the opening round of the ECAC Equestrian Championships Thursday at the Delaware State Fairgrounds.
Â
The Aggies, who improved to 4-7 overall, advance to face top-seeded Southern Methodist on Friday. Fifth-seeded SDSU dropped to 4-8 in head-to-head competition.
Â
UC Davis opened the day by building a 3-2 lead in the fences competition. Winners for the Jackrabbits were Hannah Steele with an event-high score of 169 from the two-judge panel and Margaret Franke with a score of 143.
Â
The Jackrabbits' Natalie Gydesen had her nine-match winning streak in reining come to an end as she was edged by UCD's Amber Nusser, 136.5-134.5. That propelled the Aggies to a 5-0 sweep in the event for what proved to be a commanding 8-2 lead.
Â
The Aggies posted another sweep in the flat competition. Franke recorded the top score for SDSU in the event at 141.
Â
SDSU salvaged an event win in horsemanship by winning three of the five matchups. Kodi O'Boyle notched the top score in the event with 145.5 to win her matchup, while Jadyn Taylor (140) and Grace Blake (129) also victorious.
