Baylor equestrian will kick off its 2018-19 season ranked at No. 7 in the National Collegiate Equestrian Association’s preseason national team rankings, announced Tuesday afternoon by the NCEA Selection Committee.
Coming off the program’s first season under head coach Casie Maxwell, the Bears will have 12 matches against ranked opponents during the 2018-19 slate.
