OXFORD, Miss. - The Ole Miss women's rifle team shot a 1379 in a dual match with Austin Peay and the Arkansas club team Sunday and finished second. Austin Peay came in first with a 1414, and Arkansas was third with a 1039.

Freshman Jill Barnes of Jackson, Miss., led the Lady Rebels with a 365, followed by junior Jessica Crockett of Brown Deer, Wis., with a 355. Jennifer McKinney, a freshman from West Point, Miss., was third with a 346, and Cinnamon Pugh, a senior from Louisville, Miss., came in fourth with a career-high 313. Samantha Ball, a junior from New Albany, Miss., competed individually and shot a career-high 300.

"I was pretty pleased with their performance," Ole Miss head coach Valerie Boothe said. "We had a long break since the previous match, and they are pretty much right where they were for the last match. Everyone shot pretty well."

Ole Miss returns to action Friday at the Walsh Invitational in Cincinnati, Ohio, hosted by Xavier.
