Sophomore Enrique Marin continued his steady play at the Bob Sitton Invitational and is tied for 13^th with a three-over 145 after two rounds. After opening with a 68, he had a 77 Wednesday for his two-day total. The tournament concludes Thursday.
 
Coach David Nuhn was proud of the Vandals ability to make improvement each round.
 
"Conditions today were a little more difficult so I felt we improved collectively," he said. "We got off to a good start. We just need to maintain that throughout the entire round."
 
Senior Ryan Porch and freshman Brock Anderson had the low rounds for the Vandals Wednesday with 75s. Nuhn said Anderson's was especially impressive given that his second 18 was 13 strokes better than his first.
 
"It was a real positive to see him hit a lot of good shots," Nuhn said.
 
In addition to Marin's being tied for 13^th, Porch is tied for 86^th (155), Ethan Atherstone is tied for 92^nd (156), Anderson is 115^th (163) and Hayden Ritter is 120^th (172).
 
Arkansas State is leading the tournament with a two-over 570. The Vandals are tied for 21^st with Northern Iowa – both with 619s.
