QUICK LOOK AT THE BULLDOGS
Fresno State is 5-8 this season.

The 'Dogs are fresh off of a second place finish at the 2019 United Equestrian Conference Championships. The No. 3-seeded Bulldogs defeated the second-seeded Delaware State to advance to the finals, but No. 1-seeded SMU showed stronger than the Bulldogs to take its second consecutive UEC title.

Bulldogs in the UEC
Prior to championship riding, the conference announced its season awards in the postseason banquet. Four Bulldogs were honored by the UEC.

Redshirt sophomore Nicole Campbell was named the UEC Horsemanship Rider of the Year and earned a spot on the All-Conference Horsemanship Team. Campbell has accumulated a 9-4 record, with two wins in her UEC Championship rides. She has also earned four Most Outstanding Performer honors this season.

Freshmen Brooklyn Moch (Horsemanship) and Lexee Padrick (Reining) were named UEC Freshman of the Year in their respective events.

Moch earns the Horsemanship honor with a 5-3 mark in the event and Padrick takes the Reining with a 5-6-2 record in the Reining.

Senior Alexandra Dirickson earned a spot on the All-Conference Equitation on the Flat Team. She leads the team with a 7-5 record in the Flat.

Academic Honors
12 equestrian student-athletes were recognized by the United Equestrian Conference for their accomplishments in the classroom.
