Coach Tanoue: "I want to start by thanking Derek, Eva, and Nate for their commitment, performance, and friendship over their careers. It is always difficult to say goodbye to the seniors, but I know that they have extremely bright futures ahead of them as they springboard into their future careers. We had some very good performances individually on Saturday, but on the team side we'll finish the season a bit short of our overall goals. That said we will wait to see whether we have any individuals qualify to compete at the NCAA Rifle Championships and are looking forward to the selection show on Monday."
The NCAA Rifle Championships will be hosted by the University of Kentucky, March 14 & 15.
