COACH BLANCHARD'S COMMENTS
"After a shaky start, we finished the first day strong. It was called due to darkness with one hole to play; we are at even par for the second round. We got very solid performances in the afternoon from Ryan Brown at one-under and Matthew Stafford at three-under. I'm looking for us to keep it going tomorrow."
