Dixie State finished in the middle of the pack in 12^th place at the Northern Arizona Red Rocks Invitational played on Saturday and Sunday at the Oakcreek Country Club in Sedona, Ariz.

DSU (305-306-301-912; +48) stood in a two-way tie for 11^th place after the conclusion of the suspended second round on Sunday morning. The Trailblazers then went out on their final loop and shot their second lowest round of the season, a combined 13-over 301, but fell one spot on the team leaderboard to 12^th, five shots clear of both Utah Valley (302-309-306-917; +53) and Montana (309-306-302-917; +53).
 
Fellow WAC member Grand Canyon (289-287-289-865; +1) won the team title, besting tourney host NAU (284-296-291-871; +6) by five strokes.
 
Junior Abby Livingston enjoyed a banner weekend as she recorded her career-best overall collegiate finish with a t-ninth showing at 1-over 217. After opening with a 1-over 73, Livingston fired back-to-back even par 72s, and finished with a team-high nine birdies on the weekend, four of which came in her second loop. In addition, Livingston tied the DSU 54-hole scoring record with her 217 score, which she also carded earlier this season at the New Mexico State Aggie Inv'l (10/4-6/21).
 
Sophomores Taylor Naumann (80-72-77) and Abbey Porter (75-79-75) followed in an eight-way tie for 42^nd at plus-13 229, while sophomore Tayllore Ward (77-84-77) tied for 79^th at plus-22 238, and sophomore Kaitlin Tsukamoto (81-83-77) tied for 91^st at plus-25 241.

Dixie State will enjoy a three-week break from competition before returning to Arizona to close the 2021-22 regular season at the Montana State-hosted Bobcat Desert Classic, which will be played April 11-12, at The Golf Club of Estrella in Goodyear.
