OXFORD, Miss. – No. 13 Jacksonville State edged No. 9 Ole Miss rifle, 4666-4645, Saturday at the Ole Miss Rifle Range, opening the 2018-19 season. Junior Hayley Carroll posted a career best in air rifle (592), while freshman Jillian Zakrzeski led the Rebels with an overall score of 1163.  

Cuozzo posts perfect prone score in smallbore…

Carroll, Zakrzeski shine in air rifle…
Carroll fired a personal record 592 to lead all shooters, as a non-counter. Leading Ole Miss' scorers in second was Zakrzeski with a 590. Sophomore Kamilla Kisch (588), Buesseler (586), and senior Harley Gardner (583) all eclipsed 580 points. 

Marsha's Minute…
On JSU…
"I have to give Jacksonville State credit – they performed well. Their counters in each event were solid." 

On personal bests…  
"I am always happy to see personal bests. It was great to see Hayley Carroll put up a 592 in air rifle. Zakrzeski did very well in her first match representing Ole Miss. Last spring, she enlisted in the National Guard and spent all summer at Army Basic. We didn't really know what to expect since she wasn't able to train all summer. Surprisingly, her 1163 aggregate for smallbore and air led Ole Miss today."

On opening the season… 
"Competition gives us a good picture of how we are progressing. I was very happy to begin our season today. I saw a lot of positive things we can build upon and we will be working to improve in our next match."

Up Next...
The Rebels travel to West Point, New York, to compete alongside No. 12 Army and No. 14 Memphis on Saturday, Oct. 13.
