“It was a fun weekend on the range," Head Coach Richard Clark said. "We are beginning to find our stride and are showing some great consistency day to day. The team has continued to elevate their standard, staying focused on doing the little things well and remaining true to who we are regardless of the situation. Overall coming home with wins over some of the top teams in the country and new program records makes us excited for what is left to come this fall. We’ll take a days rest when we get back and start the preparations for TCU next weekend which should be another set of very exciting and close matches.”
The Huskers grabbed three of the top five spots overall on Sunday. Emma Rhode placed second with a score of 1,192 and Katlyn Sullivan followed in third with a score of 1,187. Carley Seabrooke placed fifth after shooting 1,186.
