Forest, Va. -- University of Lynchburg equestrian riders Amaya Bellfield and Rebecca Collier swept the Old Dominion Athletic Conference Rider of the Week awards, announced by the league office on Wednesday.

Bellfield was selected as the ODAC Fences Rider of the Week after a stellar performance against Dartmouth last week. The sophomore earned a score of 85 riding Itina, which was the highest team score in the event and claimed a team point. Bellfield claims her third ODAC weekly award of her collegiate career.

Collier was named the ODAC Flat Rider of the Week after she notched an 85 riding Carl and tied the team-high score for the event. She beat out her opponent for a team point by a differential of 18. The Roanoke, Va. native earns her first ODAC Rider of the Week award of her Hornet career.

This weekend, the Lynchburg equestrian team is set to travel south for two meets in as many days against Sewanee on Friday, October 9 in Sewanee, Tenn. and Berry on Saturday, October 10 in Mount Berry, Ga.
