CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel co-ed rifle team won its second straight match Saturday at the Inouye Marksmanship Center.
"We shot a solid score that was down from last week but still good," head coach William Smith said. "We are at the end of the first half of what is looking to be our best season with higher individual and team scores. I'm looking forward to carrying this momentum into next semester."
The Bulldogs' co-ed team scored 4,493 points to take top honors, and The Citadel women's team finished second with a season-high score of 4,326, the team's seventh season-best score in as many matches this season. Georgia Military College placed third with 4,116 points, and Clemson's 3,245 points were fourth.
Junior Colton Poole won the smallbore competition for the second straight week, scoring 566 points, and finished third in air rifle with 574 points. Sophomore Allison Auten and freshman Alexander McAlear also posted top-five finishes in both disciplines. Auten's 579 points tied for the highest air rifle score, and her 542 in smallbore placed fifth. McAlear's season-best 555 points in smallbore ranked third, and his 571 in air rifle was good for fourth.
Freshman Faith Totherow recorded a season-best smallbore score for the fourth straight week, finishing fourth overall with 554 points, and scored a season-high 555 in air rifle. Senior Richie Parra placed sixth in both smallbore and air rifle, scoring 542 and 564 respectively, and sophomore Leah Wallace claimed ninth in air rifle. Junior Raven Wills recorded a season-high smallbore score of 524, and sophomore Shay Littlejohn's 550 points in air rifle marked a second straight season-best score.
Outside of the team scoring, Hunter Ferguson registered a season-high 558 points in air rifle and Patrick Meyer scored a season-best 541 in smallbore. Brandi Duzz and Tierra Price both recorded season-high scores of 561 and 515, respectively, in air rifle, and Carli Cline posted a season-high score in smallbore with a 514.
The Citadel has completed the fall portion of its schedule and returns to competition after the holidays. The Bulldogs are back in action Jan. 21-22 when the Air Force Academy comes to Charleston.
