CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel rifle teams both recorded season-best cumulative scores Saturday at North Georgia.
"Our scores continue to improve, but we continue to have small mistakes that cost us a much better score" head coach William Smith said. "Next week we have North Carolina State and Navy for a tough home match."
The 19th-ranked and host Nighthawks claimed the team victory with a score of 4,575. The Citadel co-ed team was second with 4,487, slightly ahead of Georgia Southern's 4,467, and The Citadel women's team scored 4,201 to take fourth.
Junior Morgan Long led the Bulldogs and finished third overall with a cumulative score of 1,134. The Sanford, North Carolina, native recorded a season-best 580 to take third in air rifle and finished seventh in smallbore with 554, only two points shy of his season-best score. Senior Richie Parra registered a season-best 573 and finished eighth in air rifle, and sophomore Allison Auten claimed second in both disciplines.
Junior Colton Poole finished 11th in air rifle and 12th in smallbore and was followed by freshman Alexander McAlear, who took 13th in smallbore and 16th in air rifle. Freshman Faith Totherow scored a season-best 545, nearly a 30-point improvement from her previous best, and placed 14th overall in smallbore. Sophomore Leah Wallace posted season-best scores of 563 in air rifle and 531 in smallbore and placed 17th in both.
Junior Matthew Davenport finished 18th overall in air rifle, while sophomore Brandi Duzz placed 21st in smallbore and 22nd in air rifle. Junior Carli Cline was right behind in 22nd in smallbore, and sophomore Shay Littlejohn registered a 25th-place showing in air rifle.
The Bulldogs return to Charleston for three straight home matches to end the fall portion of the competition schedule. The Citadel hosts North Carolina State and Navy on Saturday. Admission to the Inouye Marksmanship Center is free, and live results will be available at CitadelSports.com.
