Coach's Quotes:
"We finished up last week at the President's Trophy match pretty well, and we got the win against Navy," said head coach Web Wright. "We came up a little short in a couple areas that we've been working on this week. Facing West Virginia, it kind of woke the team up a little bit. We've been getting some open training in, and we are going to do some target drills to work on a couple of things which I think will get us in the right place for this weekend."
"This is one of the teams [Nevada] I think we are evenly matched against. We are neck-and-neck with them throughout the last couple weeks, so I think it will be a good indicator of our ability to step up and get the job done. I think everyone is thirsty to get back up there and prove themselves a bit."
Army (1-4) (GARC 1-3)
THE COMPETITION:
No. 14 Nevada (4-1)
No. 30 MIT (0-2)
UP NEXT:
The Black Knights will take on No. 2 TCU at the Tronsure Marksmanship Center on Nov. 18th.
