The Eagles (+8) are two strokes behind Little Rock (+6), and UTA (+18) is in third. Georgia State (+24) is in fourth, while ULM (+25) is in fifth, a stroke ahead of Appalachian State (+26). The top four teams advance to match play, which is scheduled for Wednesday.

He is tied with Marcel Rauch of Little Rock, two strokes back of fellow Trojan Anton Albers (-1) for the lead. Williams and Andress are in a six-way tie for fourth.
Hogan Ingram shot an even-par 72 to lead the Eagles in the first round, and Brantley Baker rounded out the Eagle counters with a 75 in the second round.
Ingram started the day with 13 consecutive pars before making a bogey on the 599-yard, par-5 14th. The freshman birdied the 562-yard, par-5 18th to finish even in the morning session.

Williams played the front nine even in the afternoon, while Andress made birdie on three of his first five holes to shoot 1-under on the front.
