STATESBORO - The 17th-ranked Georgia Southern rifle squad picked up its biggest win in program history Sunday as it knocked off No. 14 Jacksonville State in a tri-meet held Sunday at the Shooting Sports Education Center. The win marks the highest ranked team the Eagles have ever defeated. Georgia Southern posted a 4,628 over JSU's 4,613. No. 11 Nebraska held serve and picked up the win with a 4,677.

The Eagles posted a 2,287 in smallbore, led by a first-place finish from Addy Burrow with a 586. Amy Visconti finished fifth with a 575 and Anna Mayo shot a career-best 570 place eighth and round out the top-10 scorers. Lillian Herring posted a career-high 565 to place 13th.

GS shot a 2,341 in air rifle as a team. Burrow tied for second with a 595 and Visconti tied for ninth with a 584. Mayo shot a career-high 582 to tie for 13th with Ashley Judson.

Burrow once again took the gold, winning with a 1,181 aggregate. That total is the second-highest in school history. Visconti tied for sixth with a 1,159 and Mayo tied for ninth with a career-high 1,152. Herring posted a career-high aggregate of 1,139.

Words From Coach Soren Butler:
"Today was a bit of a struggle for a lot of the match. We definitely had some bright moments—Addy continued to pace our team and we had some really good sling performances—as well as a couple personal bests from a few people. I think we're on the right path and just need to keep focused on the process."
