Rifle Announces 2024-25 Schedule

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – University of Memphis rifle head coach Morgan Phillips announced the team's 2024-25 schedule on Friday. The slate includes five matches at home, an NCAA Qualifier, the Great American Rifle Conference (GARC) Championships and the NCAA Championships.

"We have another challenging schedule this year that will push us to be our best and work hard," Phillips said. "It's a great opportunity for us to be able to shoot against several of the top teams in the country as we want to continue to raise to that level. Most of our team has experience shooting on all of these ranges and I think that will also be a great benefit as we travel throughout this season."

The Tigers will kick off their season on Oct. 5 with a home match against Nebraska. It will be the first meeting between the programs in a decade, when the Cornhuskers visited the Bluff City on Nov. 1, 2014.

Memphis will get four of its six GARC matchups in the fall campaign with trips to West Virginia (Oct. 19) and Navy (Oct.20) before hosting Akron (Nov. 9) and taking on Army (Nov. 17) in a neutral site match in Lexington, Kentucky.

The Tigers will wrap up their fall slate with a trek to Jacksonville State on Nov. 22. It will be the third-straight season the two programs have faced off.

Phillips' squad kicks off the spring campaign with two days in Murray, Kentucky. The Tigers will shoot at the Withrow Invitational on Jan. 19 before staying in town to take on the University of Kentucky (Jan. 20) in a neutral site match.

The month of January closes with a home match against Murray State (Jan. 25) and a trip to Oxford, Mississippi to take on Ole Miss (Jan. 26).

A home match with Jacksonville State on Feb. 15 will serve as the regular season finale.

Memphis will begin its postseason quest with an NCAA Qualifier inside its home range at R.F. Fogelman Rifle Range on Feb. 22.

The Tigers will look to improve on their fourth-place finish at last season's GARC Championship (March 1-2) before heading back to Lexington for the NCAA Championships on March 14-15.
