JUSTIN EMIL QUOTABLE
"We came out guns blazing in the first round. We were looking pretty solid. Lukas (Boandl) struggled today, which isn't like him. We're still in it. The winds will be up tomorrow, so we'll got out, stick to our game plan and go have a good day tomorrow."
NEXT UP
The final round begins tomorrow at 8 a.m. Rice will tee off from holes 6-10 with student-athletes from UNLV, Sam Houston and UTRGV.
