NU opened the 36-hole day Sunday with a 2-over 290 before improving to 15-under 273 in the afternoon. The Wildcats' 13-under 563 places them 16 strokes behind second place North Carolina and 20 shots back of first-place Purdue.

Sam Triplett paced Chicago's Big Ten Team, closing out the first day at 5-under 139. The sophomore shot 3-over 75 in the first round before firing an impressive 8-under 64 in the second.
Senior Andrew Whalen and freshman Pete Griffith also finished among the field's top-15 individuals after the first day of competition. The Wildcat duo closed out the day at 3-under 141 and both sit tied for 11th to start the third round.
