USC Aiken polo champions recognized at the South Carolina Statehouse
May 6—COLUMBIA — USC Aiken's polo team was recognized at the South Carolina Statehouse on April 30 for their national championship win. The team, made up of Briana Jordan, Madison Jordan and Winnie Branscum, has been ranked No. 1 in the nation and secured the championship title at the USPA Division I National Intercollegiate Championship Tournament after defeating Texas A&M University 15-6 on March 22.
"Champions Briana Jordan, Madison Jordan and Winnie Branscum, under the leadership of Coach Parker Scott, have brought tremendous pride to USCA and the Palmetto State," S. C. Rep.
Bill Taylor, R-Aiken, said. The trio was previously recognized at USCA for their history-making achievement. "The competition is always fierce.
It's aggressive, it's physical," Briana Jordan said then. "All the other teams are really, really good programs who have been established for a long time. And us being USCA, we're pretty small, and going into that arena and playing against top level programs is a rewarding feeling, and winning at that high level is also a great feeling for us.
