THE RUNDOWN
DAVIS, Calif. – No. 5 Baylor equestrian (6-6) finished its regular season with a 13-7 win at UC Davis Saturday afternoon at the UC Davis Equestrian Center in Davis, Calif.

After the two sides split the first two events of the day and took a 5-5 tie into the half, the Bears dominated after the break in 8-2 fashion to seal the victory.

Despite a career-high ride by Maddie Vorhies (93), BU dropped Fences 3-2. Madi Mitchell was the other pointwinner with an 84, as Vorhies picked up Most Outstanding Performer honors in the event.
