The all-women rifle team tallied team scores of 2390 in the air rifle, tying their highest team mark of the season and 2349 in Smallbore.

The Smallbore relay was on the first day of the weekend, and the Horned Frogs needed a strong showing from the second group to win the event. Stephanie Grundsoee fired a 591 to aid the Horned Frogs in their title, and Mikole Hogan served as a counter and fired a 581. Grundsoee's 591 was the second-highest smallbore mark on the weekend and finished second in individual scores.

On the second day of the competition, the all-women rifle team was stellar in air rifle, with three team members setting career-best marks. Jeanne Haverhill, Mikole Hogan, and Nina Scheutt all finished with marks of 598, shattering their best marks of the season. Another team score factoring in was Anne White, who had a 594.

TCU produced four of the top ten aggregate marks during the championship weekend, with Katie Zaun finishing the highest on the team with a second-place finish.

The Horned Frogs are back in action for their final home match of the season this Saturday, as they take on UTEP for their finalist tune-up before the NCAA Qualifier.
