Fairbanks, Alaska- The No. 6 Nebraska Rifle team posted one of its best scores in program history in a 7,348-4,714 loss to No. 4 Alaska Fairbanks Nanooks Saturday afternoon at the Tanaka Valley Sportsmans Association.
NU's score of 4,714 is the second highest in program history, just three points shy of the school-record mark of 4,717 against No. 7 Air Force on Oct. 22. The three highest scores from the season will count as Nebraska's (3-4) qualifying scores for the NCAA Championships.
"The team did well today," said Head Coach Mindy Miles. "They are getting more consistent in air (rifle), and we were able to replace one of our qualifying scores for the NCAA Championships.
