RENO, Nev. - The 14th ranked University of Nevada rifle team concludes the regular season at the NCAA Qualifier at UTEP on Saturday.

"We are looking forward to our match with UTEP," head coach Fred Harvey said. "They are a great host and always present a challenge."
Nevada enters the weekend ranked 14th in the latest Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association poll while the Miners are 19th.
