Matadors 10th at Shortened Orange County Classic

COTO DE CAZA, Calif. - Freshman Mats Ege is in the top-20 with three holes remaining after the second round of the Orange Co. Collegiate Classic was suspended by darkness Monday on the Coto de Caza South Course.

Ege, who finished the opening round at two-over 74, is also two-over after 16 holes in round two. Junior Blake Brothers is just outside the top-20 after carding a first round (+4) 76 before sitting at one-over with four holes remaining in round two.

Playing their fourth round of golf in a five-day stretch, the Matadors finished round one at 310 and currently sit 10th in the 17-team field. San Francisco carded a team round of 291 Monday morning and led by eight shots heading into the second round.

CSUN SCORES

Ege led CSUN with four birdies in round one but also had one double bogey and one triple bogey. He was one-over after 12 holes before a double bogey five on the par-3 fourth put him at three-over. Another birdie at No. 6 moved him back to two-over where he finished up the round.
Brothers was one-under after two holes and remained at even-par through 12 holes. However, a triple-bogey eight at No. 3 and a bogey at No. 5 dropped him to four-over for the round.
Freshman Eirik Thomassen opened with a five-over 77 and was tied for 36th after round one, sophomore Tomas Helgo was tied for 59th after an opening-round 83 and Paul-Louis Gachet struggled to an opening-round 89 which was 90th after 18 holes.

COACH JIM BRACKEN SAID
"It was a frustrating day, but we can still pick up or shot or two if we can finish the second round in good shape. Hopefully then we can put together a solid final round and move past a few teams."

Teams will finish the remaining holes in round two beginning at 8:30 a.m. before immediately playing the final round.
