Philadelphia, Pa. -- Navy rifle took its sixth-straight dual victory to wrap up the fall season today as the Mids defeated the University of the Sciences (USP), 6180-5713.
Navy's smallbore squad of junior Matt Albright (Shelton, Conn./Christian Heritage School), captain Marta Jung (Reno, Nev./Robert McQueen), freshman Chris Schneider (Fort Mill, S.C./Fort Mill) and junior Kevin Wilson (Freeport, N.Y./Freeport) combined for a team total of 4626 to surpass USP's 4283.
In air rifle, Albright led the team with a 394, while freshman Sarah Bergman (Fort Mill, S.C./Fort Mill) added a 392. Jung posted a 390 and sophomore Billy Carson (McDonough, Ga./Henry County) rounded out the squad with a 378 to give the Mids a 1554 aggregate score. USP recorded a team air rifle mark of 1430 on the day.
?They've had a heck of a first part of the season,? noted head coach Bill Kelley. ?They had a great day; they were tired, but they got on the line and they performed.?
Navy's season will be on hiatus until January 2004, when the Mids travel to Palmyra, Pa. to take on Alaska-Fairbanks on the 24th and Nebraska on the 25th.
