Statesboro, Ga.- The Nebraska rifle team defeated No. 17 Georgia Southern and No. 14 Jacksonville State on Sunday, moving to 2-0 on the season. The Huskers scored 4,677 to win the triangular, bettering the Eagles (4,628) and Gamecocks scored 4,613.
Freshman Vittoria Watts tied the Nebraska air rifle record with a score of 597, marking the second Husker freshman in as many days to tie a school record.
Watts joins the company of fellow freshman Emma Rhode, along with Rachel Martin (2014), Hannah Virga (2015), Elena Flake (2019), Emily Cheramie (2020) and Cecelia Ossi (2022) in the Husker record book.
"The team had a good air match today," said Head Coach Mindy Miles. "Tori tied the school record, Emma shot a solid 595, and Maddie fought through some adversity to show up for the team with a 592. The team is still trying to find their groove this season, and the freshman are learning how to travel and shoot back-to-back matches. It's a great introduction into the season, since this format will be seen a few times this year. Onto next weekend for a home match."
Huskers took three of the top five overall spots despite missing All-American Cecelia Ossi, who was competing with Team USA this weekend. Junior Madelynn Erickson placed second (1,174), Rhode placed third (1,172), and freshman Vittoria Watts placed fourth (1,172).
Erickson led Nebraska in the smallbore and placed second with a score of 582. She was joined in the top five by Rhode (fourth, 577). Watts (sixth, 575), Johannessen (seventh, 575) and Strauch (ninth, 569) also placed in the top ten in the event.
