Huskers Fall to No. 1 TCU

The No. 6 Nebraska Rifle team lost to the No. 1 TCU Horned Frogs on Saturday by a score of 4,744-4,710. 

Junior All-American Cecelia Ossi placed third overall with a score of 1,183. She was joined in the top five by freshman Vittoria Watts who scored a 1,180. 

"The team did under-perform this weekend. I'm glad our standards as a team have increased as the season has progressed," said Head Coach Mindy Miles. "Cecelia and Tori did well for the team in smallbore, and Emma, Cecelia and Tori did well in air. Ohio State at home should give us another opportunity to show up as a team and post a good score."

Ossi placed fifth in the air rifle with a score of 595. Watts and fellow freshman Emma Rhode also scored 595, but did not place in the top five. The tiebreaker was determined by the number of 10-point shots.

In the smallbore, Ossi took third with a score of 588. Watts was fifth with a score of 585.

Up next, the Huskers will stay home for a match against Ohio State on Saturday, Jan. 28. That match is set to start at 8 a.m. (CT).
