The Jaguars' second round 293 was the second-best effort after IU Indy sat in 11th-place after the opening 18. Head coach

Noah Kirsch finishing at 3-over 75. Both
Morgan Tournemire and
Sam McWilliams were countable at 79 and 80 respectively, while
Harry Ward had a final round, 2-over 74 while playing as an individual.
"I have been putting in a massive amount of work the past four months," Boswell said. "To see all of it finally start to pay off a little bit is an amazing feeling. I just kept a positive attitude all week and tried to just enjoy the challenge of this course."
Tournemire finished the event tied for 46th overall at 231 (78-74-79) and McWilliams, Kirsch and Ward all closed at 234. McWilliams had a second round 75 as part of the Jags' 293 while Kirsch and Ward closed strong.
Sophomore

Boswell fueled a climb up the leaderboard in round two, getting to 4-under with five birdies and a bogey as the round was cut early due to darkness. He regained form when play resumed, finishing off his round with a string of pars to start the day Tuesday.
