The UTM women's equestrian team defeated South Dakota State 3-1 and Delaware State 2-1 in equitation over fences this past weekend at the Ned McWherter Agricultural Pavilion.
Equitation means that individual riders are judged on their form and appearance while on course. The horse's form on the course is not judged, but points will be deducted from the rider if a horse commits a course fault or drops a pole.
The Skyhawk women also claimed a 2-1 win over Delaware State in horsemanship.
UTM lost to South Dakota State 1137.5-1120. The Skyhawks lost in the English discipline 573-561 and in the Western discipline 564.5-559.
UTM lost to Delaware State 4-3 in the hunt seat.
Despite its limited success, UTM's Kendra Leake, a junior from Whites Creek, was named the MVP for horsemanship.
UTM travels to defending national champion Auburn on Sunday, Feb. 25. Competition gets under way at 1 p.m.
