SEDONA, Ariz. – Grand Canyon had the third best second round score out the 11-team field in day two of the Red Rocks Invitational, maintaining its top three position heading into the third and final round tomorrow at Oakcreek Country Club.
Freshman Alexis Vakasiuola entered Saturday second place out of 68 golfers with a 6 under, 66 first round and leaves the day tied for second at 3 under par. The San Tan Valley native shot 3 over with four birdies to put herself in prime position for a third straight top five finish.

While Haines jumped 13 spots from her day one placement, freshman Honor Johnson jumped 12 spots with a 2 over Saturday. Johnson tallied four birdies including back-to-back on the 17th and 18th holes to close out her day. Johnson is 40th at 11 over.
Junior Lena Tremouille is tied for 19th with Haines at 4 over for the tournament after a 3 over second round. Sophomore Allie Justiz is 25th at 7 over par.
