TCU started the season off strong with their win last weekend against Navy and VMI. The team fired the top aggregate score (4,710) in the nation during the first week of action. Their air rifle tally of 2,382 was also tops in the nation, while the smallbore score (2,328) was just one point behind Nebraska's top mark.

She is also tied for third in air rifle, along with her teammate Stephanie Allan, both with scores of 596.
Last weekend, Abigail Gordon contributed to her team's overall score when she fired a 592 in air rifle, which puts her at sixth nationally, and also contributed with her smallbore score of 578, which puts her at ninth nationally.
