WACO, Tex. --The South Dakota State University equestrian team was upended by fifth-seeded New Mexico State, 7-1, Wednesday in opening-round action at the Varsity Equestrian National Championships.
The Aggies won three of the four reining matchups and swept the horsemanship portion of the contest to defeat the Jacks at the Dodge Show Pavilion.
In reining competition, Abby Knobbe scored the Jackrabbits lone victory by defeating Ashley Dietz, 133.5-132. Knobbe, a sophomore from Dodge, Neb., looked to put the Jackrabbits on the board in horsemanship, but fell to Bryn Wells, 140.5-138.5.
South Dakota State ended its dual season with a 3-3 record, while New Mexico State advanced to take on fourth-seeded Auburn. The Aggies placed sixth overall in last year's championships.
Kaylee DeVries, a junior from Cedar Falls, Iowa, will conclude the Jackrabbit season at the IHSA National Finals on May 3-6 in Springfield, Mass.
