OXFORD, Miss. - The University of Memphis Rifle Team followed up its first place finish in the Tiger Open with another strong fourth place aggregate (4555) performance at the Ole Miss Invitational.

Freshman Kelly Audet, an Omaha, Neb. native, continued a hot start to her season with a 581 in air rifle, while Kaiylynn Lee scored 577, Keegan Singleton 576, and Jessica Phenis a 573 for the Tigers.

In Smallbore, Jenna Quick led Memphis with a 565, Jessica Phenis had a 562, Keegan Singleton had a 561, and Kelly Audet finished with a 560 in team shooting. Alex Watson shot individually, and scored 559.
