MORGANTOWN — The West Virginia rifle team (7-0, 5-0) closes its regular season at Great America Rifle Conference foe No. 2 Kentucky (12-1, 5-0) on Saturday, Feb. 13, at 9 a.m., at the Barker Hall Rifle Range, in Lexington, Ky.
“This is our last conference match of the season,” Jon Hammond said. “It will determine the conference title. It’s great to have challenging matches like this at the end of the season. They are ranked No. 2 in the country and have two of the best shooters in the country, so competing against them at their range will be tough.
“I think we’re well prepared. The team is excited to be back. They are ready to go and compete and challenge themselves against talented opposition after having the weekend off.”
WVU is 20-10 all-time against Kentucky since 1963, and fell to the Wildcats, 4712-4723, in their last meeting on Feb. 15 in Morgantown.
The Mountaineers last competed on Jan. 31, and defeated Ole Miss in their last home match of the season, by a score of 4737-4713 in Morgantown.
