Huskers Win Last Home Match

Lincoln, Neb. – The No. 10 Nebraska rifle team defeated the No. 15 Akron Zips 4,661-4,640 in the Huskers’ final home match of the season. The match served as Senior Day for Dacotah Faught, who led both teams in air rifle with a mark of 593.

The Huskers took an early lead as they combined for a team smallbore score of 2,308. Emily Cheramie’s score of 584 paced the Huskers and marked her second-highest smallbore score of the season. Samantha Peterson was close behind with 581. Nina Radulovic (575), Kayla Gadeken (568) and Hannah Virga (564) rounded out the squadded Huskers.

Nebraska and Akron shot identical team scores in air rifle, with both teams firing 2,353. Dacotah Faught was out front with 595. Nina Radulovic set a new season high with a mark of 590.
