TCU sweeps MOP honors in the win

BROOKINGS, S.D. – In a meet that began Friday and concluded on Saturday morning, the seventh-ranked TCU equestrian team used a strong Horsemanship performance to defeat Delaware State, 9-5, at DeHaan Equestrian Center.

The meet featured four riders per team in each event, one fewer than the typical five. This format is common for regular season neutral-site meets.

TCU (6-3) competed in Flat and Reining on Friday afternoon, tying Flat 2-2 before winning Reining 2-1. On Saturday morning, the Frogs kept Delaware State (2-3) from earning a point in Horsemanship, allowing them to build crucial separation.

Earning MOP accolades for TCU were Lily Muzzy (Fences), Victoria Zahorik (Flat), Calla Thomas (Horsemanship) and Kaylene Cunningham (Reining).

HOW IT HAPPENED

The meet opened on the Flat, and following a re-ride the teams split the four points. Lex Lipacis and Victoria Zahorik earned points for the Frogs with scores of 88 and 91, respectively. Zahorik's 91 earned her the MOP honors.

Friday's action concluded with Reining, where TCU claimed two more points while holding the Hornets to one. Sydney Sargent and Kaylene Cunningham each claimed points, while Lannie-Jo Lisac tied. Cunningham picked up the MOP after posting a 69.5.

The Horned Frogs gained separation in the first event Saturday morning, taking Horsemanship 3-0. Piper Keller, Tatum Keller and Calla Thomas added to the TCU total, while Sydney Feager drew her point. The MOP went to Thomas with a score of 73.

In the final event of the meet, TCU secured two points from Lily Muzzy and Lex Lipacis to seal the victory. Muzzy earned MOP honors, her fourth of the season.
