The No. 4 Nebraska rifle team will conclude its regular season this weekend in Murray, Ky. to compete in its NCAA Qualifier match against No. 9 Murray State on Saturday, Feb. 22. NU will look to return to the NCAA Championships after missing out last year, breaking a six-year streak of consecutive qualification. Match action is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.
NCAA Qualifying Details
Qualifying scores are composed of two parts: the qualifying match score and the average of the top three regular-season scores at different locations. The two parts are added together to get the final qualifying score. The top eight teams based on this system will qualify for the 2020 NCAA Championships in Lexington, Ky., on March 13-14.
Scouting Murray State
The Racers enter Saturday's match with an overall record of 9-3 after defeating Jacksonville State last weekend. The shooters to watch for Murray State are Matias Kiuru and Dane Buesseler.
