UC's second 18 of 295 was the second-lowest round of the day, behind tournament leader Michigan State who shot a second-round 289.

QUOTING COACH MARTIN
"Today was a tale of two completely different rounds. This golf course is one of the most difficult tests I have ever seen. We played very poorly in the morning and didn't respond very well to the difficulty of the course. The afternoon round we were much better in posting the second-best team score of the day. The key was having five guys in the round which allowed us to take some chances on our later holes. Tomorrow will again be a tremendous challenge and we must be ready from the start."
