Of the IUPUI quintet, senior Ben Engle managed the elements best on Friday, carding a 1-over 73. Engle kept his card clean through six holes before a bogey on No. 16 pushed him to 1-over. After a bogey on No. 2 got him to 2-over, he registered on birdies on Nos. 3 and 5 to get back to par. he finished with a bogey on No. 7 ahead of back-to-back pars to end his day. Engle is tied for 23rd overall and climbed 12 spots on Friday and is one shot off the pace to advance to the NCAA Championships later this month.

Senior Michael Powell also managed fairly well on Friday, firing a 5-over 77. For the second straight day, Powell led the team in birdies, but also had a pair of double bogeys on his scorecard. Fellow senior Michael Davan closed with a 6-over 78 which included a rare stretch of five consecutive bogeys from Nos. 17-3. The Summit League's scoring leader finished strong with five pars and a birdie on his final six holes.
