THOUGHTS FROM COACH PARKER
"The ACU women played some great golf this week with a victorious 27 shot win over OUAZ, Saint Olaf, and Ben Mesa. Madelyn carded her first college tournament win shooting 73 - 80 in some very windy conditions at the tough Legend at Arrowhead that yielded a 10 shot advantage over the second place finisher Chiara Israng of OUAZ. I am very pleased with the progress the gals are making, especially heading into our GSAC conference event in a few weeks. If it all comes together at the right time and we win the conference, we will qualify for nationals in May. This has been our goal all year. Let's get to the finish line!"

NEXT UP
In two weeks, the Firestorm will return to Antelope Hills Golf Club in Prescott, AZ, to compete in the GSAC Championships on April 14-16. The ACU women played there in October as part of the Embry-Riddle Fall Invitational.

Roll Storm!
