The story
Carr eagled the par-5, 579-yard 16th hole and added birdies on 11 and 12 to play his final eight holes of the day 5-under.
Price played his last six holes 1-under, and Fisk led the Eagles with four birdies on the day.
Individual Mason Williams, who started the round on the back nine, made the turn even and played his final 13 holes of the day even to shoot a 73.
Quotable from Coach Carter Collins
"I'm excited about what the team accomplished this week at The Ocean Course. It's not what we came to Kiawah Island for, but considering we had three combined starts in the top 5 (not including Steven), I believe this team played very solid and gave us a great foundation to build on for the rest of the season. This experience will help each person throughout the rest of the year."
"We are disappointed to not be able to compete tomorrow, due to the incoming hurricane. The future looks very bright, and we can't wait to hit the road in a couple of weeks to another major championship course, Shoal Creek."

Georgia Southern returns to action at the Shoal Creek Invitational Sept. 24-25.
