Rebels Embark on Second Road Match of the Season
10/28/2016 | Rifle
OXFORD, Miss. -- The No. 15 Ole Miss rifle team is headed to Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Alabama for their second road match of the season. The Rebels are coming off a victory versus No. 18 Morehead State where four Rebels shot personal bests.
Noting the Rebels
In their last contest, the Rebels were led by junior Harley Gardner in both smallbore and air rifle. Gardner set an air rifle personal best of 592. Senior Alison Weisz was just two points behind Gardner shooting a 590, but this past weekend is no reflection on Weisz's season to date as she shot a school record 597 in air rifle versus No. 8 Nebraska two weeks ago. In four matches, the Rebels have broken six personal records in smallbore and seven in air rifle.
Matchup with Jacksonville State
This will be the third meeting between the two teams this season. The Rebels hosted JSU at the Ole Miss Open and then met again in Memphis where the Rebels tied a school record in air rifle with 2354 that contributed to their victory over JSU. The Gamecocks are led by head coach Ron Frost. During Frost's 12-year tenure at JSU, he has been named Ohio Valley Conference Coach of the Year six times and led his team to the OVC Championship nine times.
Talking with Head Coach Marsha Beasley
"Everyone is looking forward to traveling. We have been home the last four weekends and we need to travel. We outshot Jacksonville State when they were here for the Ole Miss Open, but they have been putting up better scores the last couple weeks. Our teams are pretty evenly matched so it should be an interesting contest."
