Going into the second half, the Aggies maintained the lead after winning Equitation on the Flat. Strong rides from Anna Rea, Rebekah Chenelle and Maddie Swem put three more points on the board for A&M, pushing the score to 10-5 heading into the last event.
Reining closed out the day with a 4-1 win over the Gamecocks. Sarah McEntire earned the first point for the Aggies in the event, edging out Maddie Thiel, 71.5-70.5.
