Forest, Va. -- The University of Lynchburg freshman rider Mary Katherine Ragsdale earned her first collegiate Old Dominion Athletic Conference Rider of the Week accolade, announced by the conference office on Tuesday.

Ragsdale had a stellar outing at Sewanee this past week, riding to a score of 86 on Tuck in fences and receiving the MOP for the event. Her career with the Hornets has gotten off to a great start, earning a score of 85 against Charleston and 74 against Centenary.
