The Fresno State equestrian team held a moment of silence today for three alumni who passed away in recent months: Rebecca Flood Christensen (2005-2009 teams) who died in February, Beth Knapp Williams (2001-2005 teams) who died in January and Rose Hennig (2006-2008 teams) who died in December.

The tribute was observed prior to the start of a tournament this morning that the No. 6 Bulldogs are hosting against No. 4 TCU and No. 2 Georgia at the Student Horse Center. It resumes Saturday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
