"We could not be more proud of our team today," assistant coach Natalie Burton said. "They set their minds on getting the win this morning, and they never let up. It feels great to end the fall season with a win over the No. 1 team in the country, but it feels even better to see the team come together, determined to win, and succeed."

So how much will our ranking jump after a win like this?

Congratulations, Mustangs! Great job!

Probably not too much. It's hard for us to get much above 8 or so since we only compete in Hunter Seat.

Assuming the spring goes well, a win like this will certainly help our seeding in the Hunter Seat bracket at the National Championships though.

I actually check this forum before any of the others. Although BB is beginning to get my interest quite a bit. Really do appreciate your input Dan.

Exciting to see Schaefer Raposa announced as the SMU Athlete of the Week at the football game today!

SMU is still stuck at No. 10. Amazingly, South Carolina is still No. 1 as well. Whatever...
