NCAA SCORECARD

CHARLESTON, S.C. -
Behind a strong team effort across the board, the Georgia Southern rifle team posted a school-record tying 2,315 in smallbore on the opening day of the 2023 Southern Conference Rifle Championships, being held at The Citadel's Inyoue Marksmanship Center.

In the qualifier, Amy Visconti paced the Eagles with a career-high 586 to place first, followed closely by Addy Burrow's 585 which took second place. Anna Mayo (573, T-4th), Ashley Judson (571, 6th) and Lillian Herring (564, T-15th) rounded out the scoring for the Eagles. The team total was a SoCon Championship record, topping North Georgia's mark of 2,289 in 2018 as the Eagles claimed their third straight conference smallbore title.

With their scores, Visconti, Burrow, Mayo and Judson all advanced to the finals where the four made up half the field. In the finals, the Eagles dominated with a 1-2-3 finish as Visconti claimed her first smallbore title with a 450.4, edging out Judson by .1 point on the final shot. Judson finished second with a 450.3 and Burrow took third. Mayo placed fifth to round out the finals.

The eight teams will compete in the air rifle discipline on Sunday and the two team scores will be added up to determine the 2023 SoCon Champs. The Eagles hold a 45-point lead going into Sunday's action.
