OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 Coming off a solid performance in a win over No. 9 Memphis, the No. 12 ranked Ole Miss rifle team looks to keep it going this Saturday as they host No. 13 Navy at the Patricia C.

\u201cThis is our last GARC match of the season, and we really want the win,\u201d head coach Valerie Boothe said.\u00a0 \u201cNavy, like us, has been gaining ground, and has a rich tradition of being nationally ranked.\u00a0 It should be a pretty evenly matched competition.\u00a0 It\u2019s always tough to have a mid-week match and then have to hit it again on the weekend.\u00a0 There\u2019s just not as much time to recover, but we welcome the challenge.\u00a0 The team is ready to shoot!\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking of the mid-week match, the Rebels posted a season-high 4646 aggregate score to beat Memphis by one.\u00a0 Senior Melissa Quartarone paced the team in smallbore with a 585, one off her career-best, while freshman Alison Weisz turned in a 594 in air rifle, one off the school record, to lead the Rebels there.<\/p>\n
