The tournament is being hosted at Coto de Caza South Course as a par 72 with a distance of 6,950 yards. UC Irvine, the host of the two-day event, is in the lead after day one with a 12-over-par 588 team score. Cal State Fullerton is close behind in second with a 13-over-par 589 team score, while Seattle U is in third with an 18-over-par 594 team score.
The 10-team field was met with strong gusts of wind in the opening 18 holes that proved to play a factor throughout the morning.

Freshman Sean Citherlet led the Lancers on the day, firing back-to-back 2-over-par 74's for a 148 to take T-10th. Justin Cross jumped up 12 spots to take T-26th after a second-round 1-over-par 73. Ryan Fisher and James Mackie also climbed up the leaderboard in the second round. Fisher moved up four spots after a 3-over-par 75 to finish T-40th with a 12-over-par 156. Mackie was right behind Fisher at T-43rd and jumped up nine spots after a 3-over-par 75 in the second round. Min Jun Kim currently sits in 61st with a 28-over-par 92-80=172.
The Lancers will look to move up the leaderboard during the final round on Tuesday, Feb. 8, with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m.
