LEXINGTON, Va. - Georgia Southern Rifle set new school records on both rifles as well as aggregate score on Saturday in the Old Dominion at VMI. Lilyanne Wade set a new air rifle school record with a 585. The Eagles are back home next weekend as North Georgia comes to Statesboro for the 2017-18 home opener.

Wade hit for 100 on her fourth series with the air rifle, pipping Rosemary Kramer's school record by just one point with a 585. Kramer matched her career best score with a 584, adding 557 with the small bore for a 1,141 aggregate score to lead the squad.

QUOTABLES
Head Coach Sandra Worman
"What a triumph for the team today to beat the school record by double-digit points. The team is really focused on their process and that is yielding results in their scores. The support of the team's families and the athletic department is really helping us to flourish. In addition to the school record, there were several personal records today. I am delighted with their performance and hard work."
