# Nebraska Cornhuskers rifle

The Nebraska Cornhuskers rifle team competes as part of NCAA Division I, representing the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in the Patriot Rifle Conference, the only program at the school that competes in a conference other than the Big Ten. Although the NCAA classifies rifle as a coeducational sport, Nebraska has fielded an all-female team since its establishment in 1998 and is one of twenty-nine NCAA rifle programs.
Nebraska trains at the ten-point indoor firing range located in the John J. Pershing Military and Naval Science Building. NU has reached twenty NCAA championships and produced four individual national champions. The team has been coached by Richard Clark since 2024.
