WACO, Texas – The No. 1 Auburn equestrian team captured the 2016 NCEA Championship crown, defeating No. 6 TCU 8-7 Saturday night in the Extraco Events Center in Waco, Texas. The top-seeded Tigers won the program's fourth national title overall and the first since 2013.
The national crown was another to add to a list of accomplishments this year's team has reached. The Tigers concluded the season with a program-best 16-1 overall record and captured the program's first-ever Southeastern Conference championship in March.
"It was a dramatic finish to a great season," head coach Greg Williams said.
