NCAA SCORECARD

SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Led by a career-high air rifle performance from Anna Mayo, the 16th-ranked Georgia Southern rifle squad posted a 4,623 Sunday at the Taylor Center Rifle Range, to roll past SoCon member Wofford.

In smallbore, Addy Burrow posted the fourth-best score in program with a 586 to lead the way. The Eagles took the top five spots as Ashley Judson placed second with a 571, followed by Lillian Herring (565), Bella Gamez (558) and Amy Visconti (557), respectively.

In air rifle, Burrow again broke 590 as she shot a 591 to take first. Anna Mayo shot a career-best 585 to place second, followed by Judson (584; 3rd), Herrin (583; 4th) and Visconti (574; 5th).

The Eagles took the first four places in the combined, led by Burrow's 1,1777. Judson took second with a 1,155, followed by Herring in third with a 1,148 and Visconti fourth with a 1,131.

Words From Coach Soren Butler:
"We had some good individual performance today with Anna's air and Addy's smallbore, but overall today was a pretty big struggle. I think we took a step back in our mental performance, but those days happen. Progress isn't linear. I'm looking forward to correcting some things in practice this week before UAB next weekend."
