- Although they were competing against local individuals, and not other colleges, this was an important early season match to help prepare the team for upcoming intercollegiate matches and the Scholastic Pistol Pro-gram National Intercollegiate Pistol Championships
- Results are not final as of yet, but it is believed that Firstie CDT Anthony Veith was the overall winner of the match, and several other cadets placed among the top ten finishers
