October 07, 2019 04:26 PM | Rifle
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University rifle team ranks No. 1 in the first regular-season poll from the College Rifle Coaches Association (CRCA).
The CRCA Poll rankings for this week are based off the highest aggregate score shot by each team this season. Since WVU has not yet competed, the squad's rankings were comprised of its top-three scores earned at three different venues last season.
WVU ranked No. 2 in the final CRCA Poll of the 2018-19 season after finishing second at the 2019 NCAA National Championships.
Air Force and Kentucky rank No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, followed by TCU, the reigning NCAA National Champion, at No. 4 and Ole Miss at No. 5.
Taking the No. 6 spot is Army, and Navy is No. 7. Checking in for the last three spots are Alaska at No. 8, NC State at No. 9 and Murray State at No. 10.
The Mountaineers will face six of the current top-10 teams this season.
WVU opens its 2019-20 slate on the road, as the squad travels to Lincoln, Nebraska, for a Great America Rifle Conference (GARC) match against Nebraska on Saturday, Oct. 12, at 8 a.m.
