Thorsen shot even on the long par fives

THOUGHTS FROM COACH PARKER
"After finishing the first 36 holes in third position, the Lady Firestorm stumbled today and fell to fifth place at the end of the 54 hole competition. Plagued by their putting, with several days to iron out the kinks, we will head to Embry Riddle on Sunday for their fall event."

NEXT UP
Next Monday and Tuesday, Arizona Christian will stay in Arizona but get out of the valley as they compete in the ERAU Fall Invitational. The teams will compete on two courses- Antelope Hills (North) on Monday and Capital Canyon Club on Tuesday.

Roll Storm!
