Round #1-2 Standings (.pdf)

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Sophomore Jose Pablo Segurola notched a school record 6-under 65 as the Jaguars finished day one at the NYX Hoosier Invitational in second place at 565 (291-274). Northwestern leads the 16-team field at 10-under 558 while the Jaguars ended Saturday's (Apr. 7) play at 3-under.

Host Indiana is third at 570 while Indiana (B) is fourth at 574. IUPUI's second round 274 was one stroke off a school record while Segurola bettered the single-round record, previously held by Hall of Famer Drew Shafer and Jeff Moulder. Shafer carded his 66 in the NCAA Regionals in 2005 while Moulder did so at the Butler Fall Invitational earlier that same season.

"I was hitting many greens and made some putts - a lot of putts," Segurola said. "I missed two three-footers for birdie, but for the most part I was making putts."

The native of Spain carded a 67 earlier this season, but headlined the Jaguars' lineup as they're attempting yet another come-from-behind victory.

"Colby (Huffman) and I have been saying it all year. We've really thought Jose could break through at any time," head coach John Andrews said. "He's worked really hard. It feels really good when you're locked in like that. You're thinking about making birdie on every hole. I'm not inside him, but that's what it looked like he was doing today."

Segurola knew after Friday's practice round that the IU Golf Course would lend itself to low scores this weekend.

"We had a really good practice round," Segurola said. "We knew we'd make many birdies. The course is pretty short and it was pretty nice today. I was hitting my drives straight and that allowed me to play wedges into the greens."

Segurola shot a first round 73 and is among a three-way tie for second place at 138. Northwestern's Jack Perry leads the field at 137.

Senior Ben Engle is tied for fifth at 139 (71-68), despite his inability to hit his driver.

"He' really toughing it out," Andrews said. "He's limping around and can't hit his driver, but he's a tough kid."

Both senior Michael Davan and sophomore Rob van de Vin are tied for 21st at 144 with the former going 73-71 and the latter going 74-70.

"I told Davan we needed a birdie on the last hole and what'd he do? He went out and got a birdie," Andrews said. "He's just a really good player."

Senior Michael Powell capped the Jaguars' lineup at 151 (75-76) while freshman Santiago Ruiz is at 149 (79-70) playing as an individual.

"(Powell) just fights so hard," Andrews said. "And Santiago went out and shot 70 this afternoon. He's just trying to get himself in the lineup, but either way, he's having a great freshman year. (It) maybe one of the best freshman years we've ever had."

IUPUI was seventh after Saturday's morning round and still trails No. 56 Northwestern by seven shots heading into Sunday's final round.

"We shot 10 under and made up three shots. That's big time college golf," Andrews said of his team's 274. "We're still seven (strokes) down and we've got a really good team in front of us."

The Jaguars are scheduled to tee off at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday.
