Racers To Start Season Fourth Nationally
9/27/2018 4:31:00 PM | Rifle
The Murray State rife team will begin the 2018-19 season where it ended the 2017-18 season in fourth in the Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association preseason poll, the organization announced this week.
Despite winning last year's national championship, Kentucky came in third in the poll, while perennial powers West Virginia and TCU, were first and second, respectively. The rest of the top eight was Ohio State, Air Force, Nebraska and Alaska-Fairbanks. The next highest OVC team in the ranking was Jacksonville State at 13th.
The Racers will be tested early by some of the top teams in the nation when they travel to Kentucky and West Virginia in back-to-back weeks in October. Murray State will kick off its 2018-19 season September 30 at home in the Pat Spurgin Rifle Range against UT Martin.
The three-time defending OVC champions will return seven players from last season including All-American seniors MacKenzie Martin and Barbara Schläpfer and the 2018 OVC Freshman of the Year Dana Buesseler.
