Sophomore Carlos Camaros-Ruiz (Madrid, Spain) led the way for the Wolves with a four-over day over his two rounds. Senior Alex Pillar (Hawley, Pa.) currently sits in second-highest position for the Wolves as he currently sits in a tie for 35th with a five-over score.
Just a stroke behind him is senior Patrick Jacobs (Prosperity, S.C.) with a six-over day as he posted a pair of three-over rounds in the first day of the tournament. Sophomore Miguel Meza (Torreon, Mexico) rebounded from an opening round eight-over score to shoot even in the second round, sitting currently in tie for 53rd in the tournament. Freshman Sander Bilkom Hagen (Tonsberg, Norway) rounded out the day for the Wolves alone in 80th place.
