Charleston, SC - The Citadel rifle coach Bill Smith has announced that Matt Fussell and Boyd Pritchard received All-Academic Rifle Scholar recognition from the Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association.

"I couldn't be happier for these guys," said Smith. "It's not often you find someone who excels in academics and shooting. These two young men will be anchor points of next year's team."

Fussell is a junior from Alpharetta, GA majoring in Business Administration. On the range, he led the Bulldogs to a victory at the Clemson Sectional rifle match by shooting a 370 out of a possible 400.

Boyd Pritchard is a freshman from Columbia. Pritchard fired a 359 at the Austin Peay match.
