9/11/2023 7:18:00 PM | Men's Golf
USAFA, Colo. - Antoine Sale moved into the top 20 following a 2-under 70 in the second round as the CSUN men's golf team followed up an opening round 297 with a 286 on Monday at the Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational at the Eisenhower Blue Golf Course.
Sale had four birdies and five pars on the front nine before finishing the back nine at 2-over to finish the day at 2-under 70. Following an opening-round 2-over 74 on Sunday, Sale heads into the final round tied for 18th at even-par 144.
As a team, the Matadors followed up Sunday's round of 297 with a 2-under 286 on Monday to move up from eighth to seventh at 7-over 583. New Mexico State (568), Colorado State (571), and UC Davis (572) all moved past round one leader Valparaiso (574) with Cal Poly (575) rounding out the top five.
CSUNÂ SCORES
ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH JIM BRACKEN
"We improved from yesterday to today so we're pleased with that, I can't be too upset when we shoot under par as a team. It's still really early in the season and we're still in the top eight even though we're not playing our best golf yet. Hopefully, we can finish with a good round tomorrow and work on some things over the next couple weeks, before our next event at Fresno."
The Matadors will be paired with UC Davis, Weber State, and Gonzaga for the final round which gets underway Tuesday at 8:20 a.m.
