CAMBRIDGE, Mass.  – Phoebe Xu and Danny Antonelli helped MIT sweep the Mid-Atlantic Rifle Conference Athlete of the Week awards as Xu earned the honor for smallbore while Antonelli received the accolade for air rifle. This is the second award for both student-athletes as Xu and Antonelli were tabbed for the air rifle and smallbore awards, respectively, last season.
 
In the Engineers' 4,345-4,317 season-opening victory at Norwich University last Saturday, Xu won the smallbore competition with a score of 540. In air rifle, Antonelli recorded the victory with a total of 566 points.
 
MIT returns to action on Saturday, October 18 when it will host the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and the University of Rhode Island at 9:30 AM and 2:00 PM, respectively.
