MEMPHIS,Tenn.- The No. 16 Zips rifle team opened its 2016-17 season this past weekend at the Tiger Open in Memphis, Tenn., and placed fourth overall in a field of seven teams.
The Zips shot shoulder-to-shoulder against the No. 12 ranked Jacksonville State University on Oct. 1, while the other five teams shot throughout the weekend.
"We ended last season in the 4620's and that is where we are starting out this season," said head coach Newt Engle. "Clearly we have some super talented returning athletes but mix in a sprinkle of amazing incoming talent and we are clearly just beginning to realize our potential.
