COACH JIM BRACKEN SAID
"We played really good golf the entire day with the exception of the last couple of holes. We've got to put that behind us and finish our remaining two holes where we're at and then put together a solid final round. It's our first tournament back and today it just came down to execution, the wheels kind of came off at the end. The guys are still positive and I know this team has talent and is more than capable of scoring well tomorrow."

The Matadors will be paired with UC San Diego and Gonzaga for the final round which is scheduled to get underway upon the conclusion of round two on Tuesday morning.
