1/27/2024 8:52:00 AM | Rifle
MARTIN, Tenn. – Coming off an impressive victory in its home opener last weekend, the University of Tennessee at Martin rifle team looks to carry over that momentum into the regular season finale against Memphis tomorrow at Skyhawk Rifle Range. The match is set to begin at 9 a.m.
A week ago today, UT Martin came away with a 4,629-4,581 triumph over UAB in the second match of the spring campaign. The Skyhawks notched 2,330 air rifle points and 2,299 smallbore points en route to the win. Alayna Walther's 1,172 aggregate, 587 in air rifle and 585 in smallbore were team-highs across the board while Nick Fares (586 air rifle, 575 smallbore) and Joey Kovach (581 air rifle, 577 smallbore) also stood out for UT Martin.
On the season, the Skyhawk air rifle lineup has been guided by Walther's team-best 589 scoring average. She is followed in average by Fares (585), Kovach (580), Aubrey Summers (575) and Jeffrey Bourassa (575). UT Martin's smallbore lineup has been comprised lately of Walther (583 scoring average), Kovach (577), Fares (577), Jesse Chamberlain (559) and Bourassa (553).
The matchup against Memphis marks the second straight season that the Skyhawks have hosted their in-state rival. Since 2017-18, UT Martin has clashed against the Tigers four times in a head-to-head format (three of which came at NCAA Qualifiers in Murray, Ky.) and have taken part in the Memphis Tiger Open on three separate occasions.
Tomorrow's match will serve as the final tuneup for the Skyhawks before the 2024 Ohio Valley Conference Championship takes place on Feb. 3-4 in Morehead, Ky. UT Martin will also compete in an NCAA Qualifier event in Murray, Ky. on Feb. 17.
