PRINCEVILLE, Hawaii – Archer Price led the Georgia Southern men's golf team with a 71 in the second round of the Warrior Princeville Makai Invitational at Princeville Makai Golf Club Monday, but the Eagles fell into a tie for sixth in the team standings.

Georgia Southern (-1) is tied with Cal Poly, three strokes behind fourth-place Arizona State (-4) and nine behind Missouri and Sam Houston State (-10), which are tied for second.

Steven Fisk, Jake Storey and Luukas Alakulppi all shot a 74 today, and Brett Barron posted a 76.

The story
Georgia Southern finished with a flurry and collected six birdies as a team on its final three holes. Price played his first 10 holes 1-under-par and shot 1-under on his final four holes of the round.

Fisk led the team with four birdies today and played his final five holes 2-under, and Storey played his final six holes 2-under. Alakulppi scored par or better on 12 straight holes during his round, including a birdie on the par-5 18th hole. 

Quotable from Coach Carter Collins
"It was a breezy day today on the island. We got off to a solid start and had a strong finish but played sloppy in the middle of our round to keep us from putting up another team round under par. We are in a solid position through two rounds and are looking forward to getting after it tomorrow."

Next up
The third and final round is scheduled for tomorrow in shotgun start at 8 a.m. The Eagles are paired with Louisville, East Tennessee State and Cal Poly and will tee off holes 4-6.
