Coaches Corner
"We are pleased with our smallbore performance today, said Head Coach Leighton Dempster. "The consistency across the board is good to see even though we have some room to improve in prone. Air rifle continues to be a struggle point for us so we will reevaluate our approach and make it our main focus before our road trip to WVU."
