MURRAY, Kty. - Jessica Crockett fired a team-high air rifle score of 368/400 as the Ole Miss rifle team shot an aggregate (total) score of 5299 Saturday at the Roger Withrow Invitational at the Pat Spurgin Rifle Range on the campus of Murray State University.

Defending NCAA champion Alaska-Fairbanks took first place in the competition with an aggregate score 6275. The Lady Rebels placed 16th with a 1384 in air rifle and a 3915 in smallbore.

Crockett, a senior from Brown Deer, Wisc., led the squad in air rifle for the first time this season, in addition to shooting a 1071 in the smallbore competition. Maranda Stockton led the team in smallbore with an 1101, while posting a 367 in air rifle. Samantha Ball shot a 345 in air rifle and an 863 in smallbore, while Jenny Curry tallied a 304 in air rifle and an 880 in smallbore.

On Friday, Ole Miss was at Tennessee-Martin for the UTM Invitational and turned in a 1386 in air rifle and a 3995 in smallbore. Stockton topped the squad in both competitions with a 374 in air rifle and a 1096 in smallbore. Crockett fired a 364 in air rifle, while shooting a personal-best of 1079 in smallbore. Ball posted a 357 and a 927, while Curry shot a 291 and an 893.

"Jessica had a great weekend," said Ole Miss head coach Valerie Boothe. "She was shooting very well consistently through the entire weekend.

"Overall, it wasn't that great a weekend for the team. I'm not sure if we were as mentally prepared as we should have been."

The Lady Rebels close out their season Feb. 13 at the NCAA Collegiate Section in Murray.
