SCORECARD
STATESBORO - The Georgia Southern rifle squad posted solid all-around scores en route to a pair of wins Saturday at the Shooting Sports Education Center. The Eagles went 2,228-2,328-4,556 to down The Citadel and The Citadel Women to pick up their fourth win of the season. The Citadel recorded a 4,513 while the women's team recorded a 4,133.
Rosemary Kramer continued her torrid start to the season in air rifle, setting the school record with a 598 (out of a possible 600). Last week, she set the record with a 597 at Charleston and now owns six of the top seven air rifle scores in program history. The team total of 2,328 is the team's second-best total this year and fifth-best in program history.
Courtney Weekley led the way in small bore with a 573, which is tied for the third-best tally in program history and is her highest mark of the young season. The team's 2,228 is the fourth-best mark in program history. The 4,556 aggregate is the fifth-best in program history.
WORDS FROM COACH WORMAN: "Well that was a triumph! I had teased this would be a glimpse of things to come in the rifle match promo, and it certainly was. The team really came together and hit on all cylinders. For a sport that is based on the aggregate of individual performances, we are better together and as a team. I thank the Shooting Sports Education Center for helping us host a top-notch, quality match."
