"It was a great effort today," said head coach Carol Gwin. "This last week we were talking about the goals we want to accomplish and today we achieved those goals. I am very pleased with our riders and the horses rode great. It is very exciting to walk away with a big victory and four MOPs in all events. Obviously this was a team effort and it showed in the outcome."
