The seventh-ranked Murray State rifle team swept a doubleheader with No. 9 Ohio State Sunday at the Pat Spurgin Rifle Range in Murray, Kentucky. The Racers took the opening relay of the day against the Buckeyes, 4699-4691, as well as the second relay, 4614-4601.
Senior Matias Kiuru led all shooters in air rifle Sunday with a 596 in the first relay, while freshman Paola Paravati led the Racers in smallbore in that relay with a 587. The Racers also out performed the Buckeyes on both guns in the opening relay, winning smallbore, 2335-2332, and air rifle, 2364-2359.
In the second relay, junior Kylie Wright had a big day for Murray State as she led the Racers with a 573 in smallbore, to go along with a relay-high 589 in air rifle. Freshman Alok Joarder also shot a team-high 573 in smallbore, while finishing just behind Wright in air rifle at 588.
Murray State returns to action next week in Ohio Friday and Saturday, when they travel to Akron to take on the 10th-ranked Zips.
