Baylor leads Miami (Ohio) 8-0 after the first two events of the Willis Equestrian Invitational on Friday at the Willis Family Equestrian Center. Rainfall moved all events indoors and changed the order of events. The Bears will wrap up the competition against Miami in the morning before taking on TCU.

"I am so proud of the way everyone performed today," head coach Ellen White said. "The flat team had not competed before, and considering we have been practicing for less than two weeks, I thought we looked great."

Baylor's Meghan Murphy earned MVP honors in Horsemanship after defeating Leslie Cohen 74-66. Allison Orosz defeated Alexa Malnella 72-68.5, while Suzanna Nelson won 69-63.5. Lindsey Tomko wrapped up the sweep with a 73-69.5 win over Carly Bowman.
