Nebraska Rifle Releases 2025-26 Schedule

The Nebraska rifle team will face several top teams during the 2025-26 season, as the Huskers announced their season schedule on Monday.

Led by second-year head coach Richard Clark, Nebraska’s slate includes meetings with 2025 NCAA runner-up Kentucky on Oct. 25-26. On Jan. 17-18, NU will once again face the Wildcats alongside Alaska-Fairbanks, which placed third at the 2025 NCAA Championships. 

With renovations completed at the Nebraska Rifle Range, the Big Red will host five home matches throughout the 2025-26 season. 

“Our schedule being released means we are just that much closer to the start of another rifle season,” Clark said. “With a strong returning group and an incredibly talented freshman class joining them, I think we are set up to see some really great things from our team all season long. Having the ability to host matches back in the Pershing Rifle Range in front of the Husker crowds and hitting the road to face some of the nation’s toughest opponents, our schedule is going to be one that requires our team to answer the call and demonstrate the discipline and attention to detail they show us daily. While the road ahead is going to be challenging, I am excited to see what our athletes will accomplish this season.”

Nebraska begins its season with two home matches against Ohio State (Sept. 27) and UAB (Oct. 11). NU will then travel to West Point, N.Y. for a weekend with matches against Army and Kentucky on Oct. 25 and matches against Kentucky, UAB, and Mt. Aloysius on Oct. 26. The Huskers will then travel to Fort Worth, Texas to take on TCU on Nov. 1 and Schreiner on Nov. 2. On Nov. 15, the Big Red will face UTEP in El Paso, Texas, before coming home for the final match of the fall season to face off against Air Force and Ole Miss on Nov. 22. 

NU will open the spring portion of the season with a weekend in Fairbanks, Alaska, competing against Kentucky and Alaska-Fairbanks on both Jan. 17 and 18. The Huskers will then travel back to Lincoln for a pair of home matches against Jacksonville State on Jan. 30-31. 

The Big Red will begin championship season with the 2026 Patriot Rifle Conference Championships on Feb. 7-8 in Oxford, Miss., featuring NU, Ohio State, Ole Miss, UTEP, TCU, Air Force and Alaska-Fairbanks.

Nebraska’s NCAA Qualifier match will be at Ohio State on Feb. 21, and the 2026 NCAA Championships will also be held at OSU on March 12-13.

The Huskers return five shooters for the upcoming season in seniors Camilla Johannessen and Emma Rhode and sophomores Grace Corbett, Maddy Moyer, and Alivia Perkins. Nebraska will add three new freshmen to the squad - Hannah Gallagher, Carley Seabrooke, and Katlyn Sullivan.
