Last Time Out
The Nanooks are fresh off of a historic showing at home against Kentucky on Feb. 1, 2025. Alaska posted a program record for the second-straight weekend after setting a new aggregate record on Jan. 26, 2025 against Air Force. On Feb. 1, Alaska fired a 4757-4740 win over the No. 3-ranked Wildcats, improving to 11-1, 6-1 PRC. They were led by Cecelia Ossi, who shot a new Nanooks individual aggregate record with a score of 1196. She posted a 599 in air rifle and tied the Nanooks smallbore record with a 597 showing. Sára Karasová followed with an 1187 and Rachael Charles also had an 1187. Lucie Kissenberger (1185), Teagan Perkowski (1185), and Elli Spencer (1181) were the final Nanooks in the top 10.
