MADISON, Wis. – Behind a two-under par opening round, the Illinois State men's golf team stands in second place in the strong 14-team field that features schools from the Big Ten, Big 12, and American Athletic Conference.
"It was a strong team effort today to get us started," said Redbird head coach Ray Kralis. We know the field is deep and there is a long way to go, so we need to stay in the present and gain more confidence through the round tomorrow."
Illinois State carded a team score of 286 (-2), second only to Sam Houston State's 280 (-8).
