The Murray State rifle team began its 2015-16 season with a convincing 4676-4508 win over UT Martin, Sunday at the Pat Spurgin Rifle Range in Murray. The Racers began the day with a 2327-2233 win in smallbore, followed by a 2349-2275 win in air rifle.
"It was a nice first match. We needed to get the first one out of the way," said head coach Alan Lollar. "I thought everyone did some good things with Ivan and Tessa being solid across the board. Ryan and Kenzie had nice days in smallbore, while Ben, Kait and Alathea were solid in air."
Ivan Roe posted a career-best 587 smallbore score to finish as the top shooter in that event, while Tessa Howald shot a match-high 591 in air rifle. Howald, along with freshman MacKenzie Martin and Ryan Limpus each shot a 580 in smallbore and were followed by Ben Estes with a 577.
Roe shot a 590 air rifle to finish the day with a team-high aggregate of 1177. Estes and freshman Alathea Sellars turned in a 586 and a 582, respectively, in air rifle, while Martin rounded out the squaded shooters with a 578.
Up next for the Racers is the 2015 Ole Miss Invitational in Oxford, Mississippi on Oct. 2. "We are looking forward to next week at Ole Miss," continued Lollar. "It is a first class match that attracts some of the best teams in the country, we always look forward to competing against the best."
