MEMPHIS, Tenn. – In postseason play, coaches like for two things to happen. First, they want their team to peak as it heads into the postseason. And next, they want to compete as close to home as possible.
University of Memphis rifle head coach Dan Hermsmeier gets both this weekend when his Tigers travel to Murray, Ky., to shoot in the 2018 NCAA Sectional Qualifier. Murray State's Pat Spurgin Rifle Range is the site for the NCAA event, and Memphis shoots Saturday.
The NCAA Sectional Qualifier seems to be coming at the right time for the Tigers, as their numbers have trended up in recent matches.
