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.

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."
