The Owls carded an 11-over par 299 and are 15-over par after two rounds.
Sophomore Jake Benson is tied for ninth place after carding 72, his second straight round of par or better. It is his ninth round of par or better this year and the 17th of his career.

What Justin Emil Had to Say
"It was a pretty tough day out there today. There was a strong northeast win that made the golf course a real challenge, especially the last four holes. All things considered, I think the guys hung in there pretty well. It would have been nice to play those last four a little better. Overall, I think there's a lot of positives that we can take away from the last two days. Hopefully, we get to play tomorrow. It doesn't look good, but we'll be ready to play regardless."
Next Up
Play continues tomorrow with the final round at 8 a.m. Rice will begin play at 8 a.m. from Hole No. 1 and be paired with student-athletes from North Texas and UTSA.
