AUBURN, Ala. – The No. 6 Auburn equestrian team opened a busy weekend on the Plains with a 6-2 victory over Dartmouth Friday afternoon in a jumping seat-only contest at the Auburn University Equestrian Center.
 
"I'm really proud of the overall team effort," head coach Jessica Braswell said. "Even though it was just jumping seat today, the whole team really showed up. It was great to be back home in front of our fans and we are looking forward to a big meet with UT Martin tomorrow."
 
Highlighting the day was Auburn's sweep of Fences in the second half of competition. Senior Grace Pearson led off with an 81-80 win and was followed by junior Mary-Grace Segars' 82-70 victory. Freshman Avery Glynn earned MOP for her ride as she took an 88-84 win over Cassidy Exner. Freshman Reilly Gogul capped the day with an 81 to take the point.
 
Auburn split Flat with Dartmouth, going 2-2 in the event. Sophomore Anne Douglas Hamiter picked up a win, 76-65, while classmate Charlotte McLaughlin bested Margo Luria, 82-81.
 
The Tigers close out the weekend with an 11 a.m. contest Saturday, hosting No. 8 UT Martin at the Auburn University Equestrian Center.
