Zipsrifle Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 This old Rifle Alum appreciates the beating the Zips put on Morehead. Who's laughing now! It appears the team is still bunched up as Gold and Blue teams shot very similar scores. The scores were a little lower than usual, but a win is a win. Great Job team! Next up is Rose Hulman. They are ususally pretty tough, so I hope the Zips bring their "A" game. Their coach has built quite a program as well. Also, Hats off to Christine, I can't remember the last time a Zip has shot a perfect target in Air Rifle. That is really an accomplishment! Shoot the ONE SHOT MATCH. PRESS RELEASE Date: November 19, 2005 Location: Morehead State University in Morehead KY Event: Akron -vs- Morehead State University Another win for Akron Rifle Even though the Zips sharpshooters were a little off the mark by firing a somewhat low team score, the Morehead Eagles did not take advantage of the opportunity to pull ahead of the Zips. The Zips ended up having both the Gold team (4537) and the Blue team (4519) finish ahead of the Eagles (4505). Putting it all together at one time, Junior Laura Kuntz not only lead the zips squad in smallbore rifle, but won high match honors with a 579 out of a possible 600. This is a new personal best in smallbore for Kuntz. Teammates Julie Debrita (576), Megan Reinking (574) and Micheal Tokarz (571) also finished strong with Tokarz setting his new personal best at this match. With the air rifle team score at a season low, several zips still managed to shine. Junior Christine Fortunato (574) finished second overall in the match, just one point behind Morehead’s Jay Noe. This ties Fortunato’s personal best performance and included a perfect 100 on one of the six, ten shot cards. Also setting new personal best scores at this match, Ben Soehnlen (559) nearly broke the 560 barrier, and teammate Cody Shields(552) is catching up. The last match of the semester will take place after the Thanks Giving holiday on December 3 at the home of the “Fighting Engineers†of Rose Hulman Institute of Technlolgy in Terre Haute Indiana.
