STATESBORO - Georgia Southern head rifle coach Sandra Worman announced Tuesday that former Eagle rifle team member Chastity Price has joined her staff as the volunteer assistant coach.

"Chastity was a leader and mentor to her teammates during her senior year and we're excited to have her back with the team this season," Worman said. "Her military background from her time at Georgia Military College has brought invaluable leadership capabilities and support to our program. Her role as an assistant will help propel the program to the next level. She has already stepped in and played a big part in making sure the incoming freshmen are set up for success and will be a valuable resource at practice and on match days."

Price, a native of McIntyre, Georgia, graduated with a degree in exercise science from GS after transferring to Statesboro for her final two seasons of competition from GMC.

As a senior at GS, she aw action in 13 events for the Eagles. Price averaged 531.615 in the small bore with a high of 547 on Oct. 28 in Charleston, South Carolina, and averaged 554 in the air rifle with a high of 568 that same day.

The Eagle rifle squad will open its 2018-19 campaign on Sept. 30 with a match in Dahlonega, Georgia, against North Georgia and Morehead State and will host the 2019 Southern Conference Championships March 2 and 3 at the Shooting Sports Education Center in Statesboro.
