New coaches, freshmen help fuel success for No. 8 Ole Miss rifle team

The No. 8 Ole Miss rifle team has consistently competed at the top of its game this season. Defeating North Carolina State, Akron, Army, Nebraska and most recently, No. 13 Navy, the women of the rifle team proudly boast a 5-2 Great American Rifle Conference record with the team’s only GARC losses coming against No. 1 West Virginia and No. 3 Kentucky.

The onset of the team’s success began in 2016 with the hiring of head coach Marsha Beasley. Arriving after a hiatus from the sport, Beasley advertised an impressive resume of eight national NCAA Rifle championships at West Virginia and involvement with the Atlanta Olympics.
