Ole Miss posts seven career-high marks
OXFORD, Miss. – The No. 13 Ole Miss rifle team posted 22 season-high scores and seven career bests, but were outshot by No. 7 Navy, 4668-4656, Sunday at the Ole Miss Rifle Range. The Rebels posted their second-highest aggregate score and best air rifle mark of the season.
Erin Walsh leads Rebel shooters in smallbore…
Freshman Erin Walsh fired a career-best 578 to finish third in smallbore behind Navy's Michael Zanti (581) and Kestrel Kuhne (580). The Midshipmen used smallbore to their advantage, outfiring Ole Miss, 2311-2299. Sophomore Sophia Cuozzo tallied her best-ever competitive smallbore score with a 577. Ole Miss' counters were Harley Gardner (577), Abby Buesseler (576), Jillian Zakrzeski (574), and Randi Loudin (572). Buesseler was one of seven Rebels who bettered or equaled their season high in the event.
Three career marks posted air rifle…
Navy and Ole Miss battled to a stalemate in air rifle, 2357-2357. It was Ole Miss' highest mark so far for 2018-19. Sophomore Kamilla Kisch finished tied for second with a season-best 592 points. Kuhne of Navy tallied the highest score with a 593. Ole Miss's other counters were Zakrzeski (590), Buesseler (589), and junior Hayley Carroll (586). Loudin (589), Walsh (584), and redshirt freshman Megan Taylor (581) had career days in air rifle. Like smallbore, seven Ole Miss athletes tallied their best mark of the season in the discipline. A total of eight Rebels recorded improved aggregrate totals as well.
Marsha's minute…
On improving team's score...
"We had several good pieces and I feel like we are ready to shoot a significantly higher score – we just need to put it together on one day."
On overall impressions...
"Overall, I was pleased with our team members' performances today. We are making good progress."
On the week ahead...
"Tomorrow is a day off and on Tuesday we will be back at it, working on all the little things that, I hope, will help us add points to our score."
Up Next…
Ole Miss will host No. 1 and defending NCAA Rifle Champion Kentucky on Sat., Oct. 27 and No. 8 North Carolina State on Sun., Oct. 28. Both matches will begin at 8 a.m. CT at the Ole Miss Rifle Range.
