Eagles earn runner-up honors in the team race
NCAA SCORECARD
LEXINGTON, Va. - The Georgia Southern rifle team shot a school-record 3,596 aggregate over two days to take runner-up honors at the 2021 SoCon Rifle at Kilbourne Hall on the campus of VMI. The total is the second-highest team championship total in SoCon history, falling just four points shy of this year's winner, North Georgia.
Ashley Judson led the way with a 585 in the preliminaries to finish fourth and advance to the finals where she placed fifth. Brianne Staton just missed the finals with a 581, placing ninth. Kinsley Hannon shot a career-high tying 579 to place 10th while Gabby Morrow shot a 573 and Anna Mayo posted a career-best 564.
Judson, a sophomore, was named air rifle co-athlete of the year for the second time in as many years while also earning first-team honors. Staton was named to the conference's second team.
Words From Coach Worman: "Congratulations to the team! I'm proud of how they handled themselves at SoCon this weekend, and this year. I want to thank them for their hard work and organization. Thank you to Senior Associate Athletic Director (SAAD, for short) Bryan Johnston, for traveling with the team to SoCon and working so diligently to shine a light on our successes, all season long. Lastly, I want to thank Coach Rose for pouring her cup out for the team all season long. Her help, love and expertise (in both performance management and gunsmithing) made a big difference this year. Our hearts go with her into her next chapter."
