FELTON, Delaware—The No. 4 Texas A&M equestrian team hit the road for Felton, Delaware to kick off a double header against Kansas State and Delaware State on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 20-21.
Texas A&M (4-1) will take on familiar Big 12 foe No. 9 Kansas State on Friday at 9:30 a.m. central. The Wildcats are 2-2 on the season and recently moved into the Top 10 teams in the country.
The Aggies will then turn around and face host Delaware State the following morning at 7:30 a.m. central. The Hornets are also 2-2 on the season and are in second place in the United Equestrian Conference. The meet will wrap up fall action for the Aggies.
In their last matchup, the Aggies upset then-No. 2 Auburn 11-8 at home on Friday, Nov. 6 in the Hildebrand Equine Complex. October SEC fences rider of the month sophomore Alex Desiderio recorded her second MVP performance in as many meets, scoring an 84. Senior Hannah Jechow joined Desiderio on the MVP list, taking the title in the reining competition after a clutch 72.5-72 win over her opponent.
Returning to the team after representing the Aggies in Oklahoma City at the American Quarter Horse Association Horsemanship Challenge will be junior reserve champion Kaci Fisher, who took home second place in the event.
After the road trip to Delaware, the Aggies will not compete until they take on Georgia at home for the spring season opener on Saturday, Jan. 30 2016.
