Storey’s top 10 effort guides Mside in fall opener

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA. – Fueled by two sub-70 rounds Monday, Aug. 30, Morningside University senior Sam Storey (Surrey, England) got the 2021-22 fall campaign off to a fast start for the No. 13-ranked Mustangs.

Storey and head coach Nick Wanderscheid's crew, playing in a star-studded field that included perennial National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics' power Oklahoma City University at the U.C. Ferguson Invitational, carved out a 54-hole 851 at the Lincoln Park Golf Club West Course to claim the final slot on the team leaderboard first five. The host Stars registered a gaudy 815 to win the event by 20 shots over New Mexico Junior College.

Morningside's standout senior was one of three Mustangs to wind up in the top 20. Junior Jackson Sitzmann (Sioux City, Iowa) wound up tied for 20^th (213), and fellow senior Jonny Douglas (Newcastle upon Tyne, England) finished in a tie for 13^th (211).

Wanderscheid's squad returns to action at the Siouxland Invitational Sept. 13-14.
