2-2) suffered an 11-8 loss to No. 1 Oklahoma State (5-1, 4-0) Sunday afternoon at the Pedigo-Hull Equestrian Center in Stillwater, Okla.<br>
<br>
Strong Reining rides from the Bears knotted the score at the break, but a dominant second half from the Cowgirls held BU in check.<br>
<br>
Despite three rides above 80, Baylor dropped Fences 3-2 to start the day. Savannah Hemby and Madison Mitchell collected the points for the Bears with scores of 83 and 80, respectively. Meanwhile in the Western arena, BU took Reining 3-2 to even the overall
ledger before halftime. Madaline Callaway, Jenna Meimerstorf and Andie Pratt were responsible putting the points on the board with scores of 68.5, 70 and 69.<br>
<br>
OSU came out strong in the second half to take Horsemanship, 4-1. Nadalee Vasquez was the lone pointwinner in the event for the Bears with a 70.5. BU managed to tie in Flat, but it wouldn’t be enough to overtake the Cowgirls. Caroline Fuller (79), who received
Most Outstanding Performer honors, and Emma Fletcher (76) put up the points for BU, while Dominika Silvestri tied in her matchup.<br>
