The Murray State Rifle team pushed its record to 2-0 in shoulder-to-shoulder matches when they posted a 4600-4177 victory against Jacksonville State at Gamecock Rifle Range in Jacksonville, Ala.
MSU had a great day in winning both smallbore and air rifle competition against JSU.
The Racers posted a 59-point margin of victory in smallbore, and in air rifle JSU had a shooter unable to finish.
Kasey Meyer had the top score for MSU in smallbore with a 583 (out of a possible 600), while Emily Quiner added a 577. Kaitlin Cleven scored a 562, with Ashley Rose posting a 559.
In the air rifle, MSU's top score came from Daniel Sojka with a 584, while Meyer added a 580. Quiner carded a 578, while Rose had a 577.
The Racers now have a good start to the season with wins over UT Martin and JSU.
"I thought we competed pretty well this weekend, with Kasey and Emily both having good smallbore days," MSU Head Coach Alan Lollar said. "Daniel shot well in air rifle well and we're still working to become more consistent."
The Racers' next match is at home Oct. 24 against Kentucky.
"I'm happy with the place we are right now," Lollar added. "We have taken a step toward where we want to be. Now we'll try taking another step."
