Georgia Remains No. 1 In Equestrian Coaches' Poll

FRESNO, Calif. -- The Georgia Bulldogs just keep on rolling, having won nine straight matches and remain the top-ranked team in the National Equestrian Coaches Poll.

The Bulldogs are coming off impressive wins over No. 5 South Carolina and No. 7 Baylor.

That sets up a showdown of the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the nation this weekend when Georgia travels to Auburn, March 6. Auburn has a solid lead over No. 3 Texas A&M in the rankings.

For the fi rst time in the two-year history of the poll there were no changes among the top 10 programs.
