OXFORD, Miss. - The five-day Ole Miss Fall Rifle Invitational wrapped up over the weekend as Birmingham Southern, Mercer and several junior teams visited the brand new Patricia C.

The total included a second-place effort in smallbore (2287) and third-place finish in air rifle (2306).
Sophomore Jennifer Lorenzen, who fired all of her rounds last weekend, hung on for second in smallbore (582) and third in air rifle (586). Junior Megan Sandage and freshman Casey Phillips also cracked the top 10 of the final smallbore standings. Sandage managed a 572 to place seventh, while Phillips turned in a 571 to finish 10th.
"I am happy with the second-place finish," Ole Miss head coach Valerie Boothe said. "We had some really solid teams in this field. This was a good early-season test for us. With seven returnees and two solid newcomers, we have big expectations for the rest of the season."
