FRESNO, Calif. - While the final outcome wasn't what head coach Becky Malmo was hoping for, the always optimistic Bulldog Equestrian coach found some things to be proud of in Fresno State's first competition of the season. The Dogs opened the 2007-08 season at WAC rival New Mexico State, losing to the Aggies 13-7.
"I'm pleased with the performance of freshmen Adrianne Smith and Tarynn Shada," said Malmo after the meet. "Kirsten Sohns and Katie Nenneker came through, as well as did Sara Barnes and Keri Blackledge. We saw improvement in several riders, and though we would have liked a different outcome, strides were made by several women. We look forward to hosting the Aggies next March when they and Auburn visit Fresno." Smith, coming off an injury suffered two weeks ago, was selected the MVP in Horsemanship, while Shada won her point. Both were competing in their first collegiate events.
Sohns tied for the high score in English Equitation on the Flat with a 77 and Nenneker was selected the MVP in Equitation over Fences. Fresno State hosts its only meet of the fall season on Oct. 27 against SMU in an English-only competition.
