COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- The No. 6 Texas A&M equestrian team (4-4, 0-3 SEC) travels to 5th-ranked South Carolina (4-4, 3-2 SEC) Saturday for a Southeastern Conference meet at One Wood Farm in Blythewood, S.C.

The action will begin at noon CST. Fans wanting to follow the scoring live, can visit South Carolina’s live scoring page, or the Texas A&M equestrian Twitter feed at @AggieEquestrian.

The Aggies last competed at then-No. 5 Oklahoma State, dropping an 8-16 decision to the Cowgirls. This is the second meeting between the Aggies and Gamecocks this season, and the ninth time in the history of the two programs that the teams have met.

A&M holds a 5-4 edge over South Carolina, who defeated the Aggies 11-8 in Bryan in the fall. Marlena Parker (over fences) and Molli Jacobs (horsemanship) each earned Most Outstanding Player honors during the meet.

The Aggies will return from South Carolina to host No. 2 Auburn on Friday, March 1 at the Brazos County Expo Complex. That meet is set for a 9 a.m. CST start time. To learn more about Texas A&M equestrian, log on to AggieAthletics.com and follow @AggieEquestrian on Twitter.
