“Anytime you can go on the road and win on horses that you don’t know, it is always a good thing,” head coach Tana McKay told 12thman.com. “We saw some good, high scoring rides. They were gracious hosts and ran a good show. There are obviously some things that we need to clean up, and clean up quickly as we have a short week to get ready for South Carolina.”

The Aggies return to action against the No. 8 Gamecocks Friday, September 30th, at 1 p.m. CST.
