South Carolina presents another chance for TCU to knock off a defending champion as South Carolina won the Hunt Seat Championship in the National tournament last year. The last time TCU faced a defending national champion was on March 1, as the Lady Frogs knocked off last year's overall champion Auburn.

Riding in the Western events for TCU will be team captain Carrie von Uhlit, Kindel Huffman, Chloe Baker, Allie Royder, Nicole Barnes and Jessica Bailey.
