FRESNO, Calif. - The Fresno State Bulldogs battled No. 3 University of Georgia coming close in multiple match ups, but couldn't find the individual victories in the 17-1 loss. The University of Georgia improved to 9-1 on the season as the Bulldogs moved to 7-5.
Sophomore Hillary West was the only Bulldog to win her point on the day and it came in Equitation over Fences with a high score of 72. She defeated Georgia's Carly Anthony by 17 points, who scored a 55.
In Horsemanship Sammie Jo Stone tied her opponent Sara Parr with a 72 and in Reining Sydney Coletti tied her opponent Morgan Collins with a 69. Also in Reining Lauren Crivelli fell to her opponent Kelly Truesdell by just 0.5 points.
