TOP QUOTE #1
Head coach Casie Maxwell
On the win…
"It was an outstanding day. This is one of the toughest teams in the country. They tested us in every single ride as we went on throughout today. We knew we were going to have to be really strong from the first ride to the very last ride, and that's what we had to do. I'm just really impressed and pleased with how our team stepped up today and didn't let those losses bring them down. They just kept fighting back every single ride they went in."
TOP QUOTE #2
Head coach Casie Maxwell
On outstanding freshmen…
"I've got to give it to Caroline Fuller. She's a freshman and came out of nowhere. I know she didn't get her point in fences, but she laid down an outstanding round. And then to get an 85 in the equitation on the flat, she was outstanding. Then Maggie Cincotta in the reining. She went in with a tough score to beat and she didn't even let that get into her head. She went in there and marked that high score and got her first MOP. Really outstanding for both of them being freshmen with this kind of pressure on top of them."
TOP QUOTE #3
Head coach Casie Maxwell
On Georgia…
"Georgia is a tough team in all four events. They've got a lot of depth and a lot of experience. They've got a great coaching staff. They come into every meet fighting and that's what we expected and that's exactly what they gave us today. It's exactly what it needed to be, and it's exactly how we prepared for them."
WHAT'S NEXT
BU will set its sights on its final Big 12 road meet against No. 8 TCU Saturday, March 2 at Turning Point Ranch in Springtown, Texas.
