Grace Upshaw, Wynne Weatherly and Raegan Rast all contributed towards the Frogs’ win in the Fences event.
The senior riders, along with first-year Maddy Buchanan, all earned points in their indoor arena events. Buchanan earned MOP honors after her 71.5 points, an event best.

The Frogs will travel to Fresno to compete against Fresno State and Texas A&M Oct. 4-5.
“We are going to see really strong teams next week but taking the momentum from this weekend is big as we look to build off of what we did here,” Fiorentino said.
