RENO, Nevada – The Alaska Nanooks coed rifle team lost their second-straight match on Sunday, falling 4643-4641 to the University of Nevada Wolfpack. The Nanooks outshot their opponent 2302-2292 in smallbore but fell short in air rifle, 2339-2350.

Sunday's loss drops Alaska's overall record to 6-2.

"I am proud of the team and how hard they worked this weekend," head coach Layne Lewis said on Sunday. "I know this wasn't the ideal road trip shooting four days in a row at three different locations in two different states, but they showed true heart and discipline this week. If they can continue at this level of work, I'm sure we will be seeing greater success at our next match."
