HARTFORD, Conn. — Nicole Albert's High Point Rider performance highlighted an eventful day for the Sacred Heart University equestrian team as it earned Reserve High Point Team honors in its final Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association (IHSA) show of the year on Sunday.

Albert was one of three Pioneers to win their respective events, earning the High Point Rider honor with a first-place showing in the Open Flat and a second-place finish in Open Fences. Molly McKegney took home first place in Limit Fences while Harley Jimenez rounded out the three top finishes with a first-place showing in Limit Flat.
