MOREHEAD, Ky. -- A solid showing by the Morehead State Rifle team on Saturday wasn't quite enough to top visiting Akron at Button Rifle Range. The Zips, ranked fourth nationally, narrowly edged the Eagles, ranked 15th nationally, 4,668-4,647.

Freshman Bryce Ward set personal bests for Air Rifle (577), Smallbore (576) and aggregate total (1153). Included in that was a personal high for Smallbore standing at 189.

On the Air range, senior Alexa Potts tallied a team-best 593, while junior Ryan Hinson and freshman Grace Weber both nailed down 586 totals. Sophomore Amber Schifano came in next with a nice 584 score.

In Smallbore, sophomore Katie Frye notched a personal record of 189 in standing which helped her lead the way with a 577 total. Freshman Elizabeth Plecity turned in a 575, which was highlighted by her best-ever prone score of 198.

Also on the Air range, Plecity and sophomore Erin Diehl fired 582, and senior Karly Potts fashioned a 581.

Morehead State is idle until Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 when Georgia Southern visits for a pair of weekend matchups.
