Georgia is coming off back-to-back wins at home and is currently ranked 7th.
 
 
“We’re very excited to be coming off a great weekend of competition,” head coach Meghan Boenig said. “There is no better prep for postseason than to be continuously competing. Auburn is a great rival and will be a great test for us. We are very excited and ready to go.”
 
 
LAST TIME OUT

Georgia (6-4, 2-2) bounced back from a loss at Baylor with two wins at home against South Carolina and Delaware State.
 
 
The Bulldogs first welcomed the Gamecocks to Bishop on Friday, Feb. 3 and rode to a 14-5 victory. Georgia defeated South Carolina in all events with three Bulldogs riding to season-high scores, including Maddy Darst (Equitation Over Fences), Liza Finsness (Equitation on the Flat and Equitation Over Fences), and Meg O’Mara (Equitation on the Flat). Darst and Finsness earned MOP honors for their rides.
 
 
Georgia’s Hunt Seat squad shutout Delaware State on the way to an 18-2 victory over the Hornets on Saturday, Feb. 4. Georgia riders earned all four MOP honors with Meg O’Mara (Equitation on the Flat), Maddy Darst (Equitation Over Fences), Graysen Stroud (Horsemanship), and Claudia Spreng (Reining) being recognized for their rides.
