The National Collegiate Equestrian Association (NCEA) announced on Tuesday that sophomore equestrian rider Ashley Foster was the NCEA Equitation over Fences Rider of the Month.
Foster won the award due to her undefeated record in November, going 4-0 in the event and being named Most Outstanding Player (MOP) in dominant victories over Kansas State's Taylor Schmidt (85-68) and Fresno State's Randi Pomrehn (81-68).
"We are extremely proud of her," head coach Greg Williams said. "She has come on strong during her sophomore season. I am proud of the way she has competed, and I know she has her best rides ahead of her."
Foster, (who is from Brookeville, Maryland) started out the month with a victory over Texas A&M's Haley Webster 81-76 before an 82-74 win over Georgia's Megan Southam. Foster finished the fall season with a 5-1 record overall in equitation over fences.
