This brings the Eagles' two-round score to 585 (-1) to see them head into the final round in ninth out of 12 teams.
 
In a field of all Division I opponents, Houston usurped the College of Charleston for the tournament lead, having a two-round score of 548 (-28). The College of Charleston is right behind, though, having shot a 549 (-27) through 36 holes. Also competing at the event are Ball State, UC San Diego, Eastern Michigan, George Mason, Maryland, Northern Illinois, Ohio University, Rutgers, and West Virginia. The event is being played at the Ocean Golf Club's Par-72, 6,843-yard course at Paradise Island, The Bahamas.
 
Sophomore Brady Lagendyk built on his stellar first round, shooting a 70 (-2) to bring his score to 141 (-3) through 36 holes. Lagendyk continues to be very consistent, compiling four birdies and just two bogeys during his round on Saturday. He heads into the final round on Sunday in 19^th place out of 73 golfers. Lagendyk has recorded an impressive 25 pars over two rounds, tied for the fifth most of all players.

Senior Tony Li joined Lagendyk in shooting a 70 (-2), bringing his 36-hole score to 143 (-1). Li was dominant to start his day, shooting four under par on his first nine holes. A tough five holes to finish where he shot three bogeys saw his score inflate but remained under par for the day. Li will enter the final day tied for 26^th after climbing 13 spots on the leaderboard.
 
His classmate Josh Qian had a very solid day, shooting the third score under par for the Eagles with a 71 (-1). He experienced a much more up-and-down day than his teammates, with seven birdies but also had six bogeys and just five pars. It does the trick, nonetheless, seeing him tied for 26^th with a two-round score of 143 (-1). Qian has now recorded 12 birdies over 36 holes, tied for the fifth most at the tournament.
 
Senior Michael Burry improved upon his first-round score by five strokes, shooting a 74 (+2) on Saturday. His round started with a bogey and a double bogey, but the senior was locked in after that. He shot 13 pars, two birdies, and just one bogey to keep his score hovering around even. He enters Sunday with a score of 153 (+9) and tied for 59^th.
 
Rounding out the round for Emory's lineup was junior Brian Hanson. Hanson struggled on Saturday, shooting an 81 (+9). He has a score of 155 (+11) and in 64^th place.
