October 09, 2017 | Rifle

MURRAY, Ky. - The 12th-ranked Army West Point rifle team defeats No.11 Memphis in a well fought match on Monday.

STRAIGHT FROM THE SOURCE - Head coach Web Wright
"We came off a pretty good day yesterday. There were some positive accomplishments, but overall we still have some work to do.Smallbore was low, but I was relatively pleased with air gun. Decent performance by the team. It showed consistency and depth. We have two weeks to work on some things before we head out to Nebraska. We will most likely take a break the first day back from this trip to evaluate our performance. I will reinforce our strong points and address some of our shortcomings."
