Junior Dane Huddleston is tied for thirty-third at one under par alongside freshman Dujuan Snyman, who is competing as an individual entrant.

Ryan Voois commented on his performance: "My goal was to stay patient out there and not force anything. I managed my game well until those late bogeys but bounced back nicely with some birdies."

Head coach Mike Small stated: "We put ourselves in a good position going into tomorrow. The guys handled themselves well throughout both rounds today."

The Illini will look to secure victory when play concludes on Tuesday.
