UTEP rifle falls short to Nevada in home opener

UTEP women’s rifle team went head-to-head in a two relay rematch this weekend against Nevada, where the squad added another loss to their record, losing to Nevada 4,644-4,617. Despite the loss, the Miners showed improvements in Air Rifle shooting from last week’s loss to Nevada.

The Miner that took the spotlight was Rachel Schoenrock, who tied for number one with Nevada shooter Mitchell Van Patten with 580 out of 600 for the small bore individual standings. Schoenrock outscored Van Patten of Nevada just by one point, 1,169-1,168 to win individual standings. She was also the second highest scorer in the individual Air Rifle standings (589) following Emily Capaul of Nevada, who scored 591 out of 600.
