West Virginia's rifle team begins the spring season, and the road to the national championships, with yet another top-tier test as the No. 5-ranked Mountaineers travel to the 49th state on Friday, Jan. 13, to take on No. 2-ranked University of Alaska-Fairbanks. 成品人视频 concludes the weekend on Saturday, Jan. 14, when the squad faces Alaska-Fairbanks, No. 3 Kentucky and No. 16 Georgia Southern.
The rankings are a bit misleading, as the Mountaineers defeated both the Nanooks and Kentucky back in November at the 成品人视频 Shell Building, while dropping a narrow four-point decision to TCU. West Virginia closed out its fall season with easy wins over Army and NC State to run its record to 10-1 on the season, including 5-0 in conference matches.
Friday鈥檚 contest against the Nanooks will be shot in two relays throughout the day. The first relay will begin at 12 p.m. ET, and the second relay will follow at 4:30 p.m. Friday鈥檚 match will be shot at the E.F. Horton Rifle Range, while competition on Saturday will be held at Tanana Valley Sportsmen鈥檚 Association.
The Mountaineers are coming off a 4751-4687 win over then-No. 11 NC State on Nov. 18, at the 成品人视频 Rifle Range in Morgantown. West Virginia claimed both match disciplines, with a 2365 in smallbore and a 2386 in air rifle. The Wolfpack shot a 2323 in smallbore and a 2364 in air rifle.
The Mountaineers claimed the top five spots on the individual leaderboard against NC State. 成品人视频 was led by Senior Mary Tucker, who set the NCAA record in aggregate score (1196) and tied the national record in smallbore (597). The Sarasota, Florida, native also tied her season high with a 599 in air rifle.
成品人视频 ranks No. 3 nationally in aggregate average (4724.714). Additionally, the Mountaineers are No. 3 in the nation in air rifle average (2381) and are No. 4 in smallbore average (2343.714).
Senior Mary Tucker continues to lead the squad in aggregate average (1189.50), smallbore average (591.75) and air rifle average (597.75). Tucker is No. 2 nationally in aggregate average, No. 3 in air rifle average and No. 3 in smallbore average.

The Mountaineers would outscore NCSU, 12-11, following the timeout but would trail, 19-12, heading into the second quarter.
