Racers Split With Kentucky and Morehead State
10/13/2018 10:05:00 PM | Rifle
The fourth-ranked Murray State rifle team finished second at the inaugural Kentucky Long Rifle Match Saturday in Lexington, posting a 4685. Kentucky won the match with a 4718, while Morehead State was third with a 4659. In addition to the NCAA scores, the match was also scored in a shoot-eight, score-eight fashion specifically for the traveling Long Rifle trophy. Kentucky also had the high score in that format at 9356, followed by the Racers at 9321 and Morehead State at 9232.
Senior Barbara Schläpfer led the Racers in all three phases of the match with a season-high 588 in smallbore, a career-high 597 in air rifle and a career-high tying aggregate score of 1185. MacKenzie Martin was just one shot off of Schläpfer in smallbore with a 587, while Shelby Huber was the third counter for Murray State at 578. Dana Buesseler also had a good day in smallbore for the Racers, as she shot a season-high 581. In air rifle, Huber shot a season-best 592, followed by Buesseler at 591 and Alathea Sellars at 590.
Next week, the Racers face arguably their toughest road trip of the season when travel to No. 2 West Virginia Saturday.
