WACO, Texas - TCU collected two MVP honors on Saturday afternoon, but dropped an 8-7 decision to host school Baylor at the Willis Invitational."I thought the game was really close and could've gone either way with a few breaks," said head coach Gary Reynolds. "Our Reining was super solid today and I am very proud of all of the girls this weekend. Overall, we had a very good weekend and some very good performances. We are really moving forward as a program. We are light years ahead of where we were last year at this point."
The Horned Frogs, who outscored the Bears, 1169.5-1118, swept the Reining competition inside the Willis Family Equestrian Center on Saturday. Overall, TCU totaled a 5-2 advantage in Western events against Baylor.
