Schreiner Rifle Posts Season-Best Smallbore Score and Announces 2026–27 Schedule

KERRVILLE, Texas — The Schreiner University Rifle team delivered one of its strongest performances of the season this past weekend, posting a team aggregate score of 4417 and recording its highest Smallbore score of the year, while also announcing its 2026–27 competition schedule.

The Mountaineers fired a 2175 in Smallbore and a 2242 in Air Rifle, combining for the 4417 aggregate and a total of 138 centers. The Smallbore total marks a season best for Schreiner and reflects the program’s continued development as it competes in the Mid-Atlantic Rifle Conference (MAC).

The performance also resulted in Schreiner moving up one position in the conference standings, another milestone for a program continuing to build its competitive presence at the NCAA level.

Junior standout Molly Mitchell led the team with an aggregate score of 1162, including a 574 in Smallbore and an outstanding 588 in Air Rifle, finishing with 60 total centers. Her Air Rifle score continues to rank among the program’s top performances this season.

Cora Anderson contributed a strong 1115 aggregate (551 Smallbore, 564 Air Rifle), while Isabella Evans added a 1089 aggregate (530 Smallbore, 559 Air Rifle), providing key scoring depth for the Mountaineers.

One of the most notable achievements came from Christian Nickerson, who fired a personal record in Smallbore, finishing with a 520 in the discipline and a 1051 overall aggregate. His performance played a critical role in helping Schreiner achieve its season-best Smallbore team score.

Dylan Winters rounded out the scoring lineup with a 913 aggregate, continuing to gain valuable competitive experience as the team develops its roster depth.

The results reflect steady progress for Schreiner, which has transitioned in recent years from rebuilding its roster to competing more consistently within conference competition.

In addition to the strong weekend performance, Schreiner University Rifle officially announced its 2026–27 competition schedule, which includes matchups against several of the nation’s top collegiate programs.

The Mountaineers will open the season on October 3 at UTEP in El Paso, followed by a competition against Army hosted at TCU on October 10. Later in October, Schreiner will travel to MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for MAC conference competition.

November will feature a trip to Fairbanks, Alaska, where Schreiner will face the University of Alaska Fairbanks, one of the nation’s premier rifle programs.

Following the winter break, Schreiner will return to TCU to face Ohio State on January 17, and will compete against UTEP again on January 31.

The regular season will conclude with the NCAA Championship Qualifier at UTEP, followed by the MAC Rifle Conference Championship, where Schreiner will compete against conference opponents for postseason honors and further establish its position within the conference.

With momentum building and measurable progress evident in both individual and team performance, Schreiner Rifle now turns its focus to finishing the season strong. The upcoming NCAA Qualifier and MAC Championship represent important opportunities for the Mountaineers to demonstrate their growth and continue advancing the program’s competitive standing.

The Mountaineers continue to show that Schreiner Rifle is a program on the rise.
