THOUGHTS FROM COACH PARKER
"Super proud of the gals for their fifth place finish this week. After being in second place and three shots back at the completion of day one I think they had a fair showing out of the ten schools. Slowly, but surely we are progressing. Hearty congratulations to Taylor for her individual third place finish. She shot a career low 71 the first round and finished +2 for the tournament.  A shout out and thank you to Verrado Golf Club for allowing us to host our event at their beautiful facility.  Looking forward to the 2025 season!"

NEXT UP
The 2025 portion of the schedule has not yet been finalized but the Firestorm should be back on the competitive circuit in late January or early February at the latest.

Roll Storm!
