WarTiger 3,896 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Auburn's #1 rank Equestrian team is in Waco, Tx. They had a first round bye and competed friday vs. #8 Kansas State. They defeated Kansas State 15-1. It's my understanding that this was the largest margin of victory ever at quarterfinals.

The Tigers move on to the semifinal round of competition slated for Saturday at 8:30 a.m. CT in the Extraco Events Center in Waco, Texas. "This was one of the best wins this program has had at the NCEA meet," head coach Greg Williams said. "We feel very good going into tomorrow. If we keep riding like have all year and today, we should be bearing down on a national championship." Auburn will take on SEC rival and No. 5 Texas A&M in the semifinals.

Mikey 16,550 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Auburn defeated Texas A&M 10-6 to advance to the FINALS later today. ! Bammer is now trying to field an Equestrian team. AU beat them 12-0 earlier this season. A shutout is pretty much unheard of in this sport. I didn't think they would ever have an Equestrian team over there, what with them being Barn impoverished. Everybody knows you can't have horses without a BARN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
