BOULDER CITY, Nev. - The IU Indianapolis men's golf team carded rounds of 281 and 300 on Monday (Mar. 9) and sits fifth among the 11-team field after day one of the Jackrabbit Invitational at Boulder Creek Golf Club. 

Host South Dakota State leads the field at 566 and Youngstown State is second at 570. The Jaguars were tied atop the leaderboard after an opening round 281, but slid to fifth with a 12-over 300 in the afternoon round. 

North Dakota and Kansas City are tied for third at 578 while the Jags sit at 581. 

"The course was easy to start the day, there was no wind and the greens were rolling pure," junior Brady Schier said. "I needed to get settled in at the start. I didn't hit the ball great but battled and kept it around par and gave myself a chance to play a good round. 

"I felt good going into the second round and got off to a hot start. The wind picked up heavily toward the end and I had to grind it in and did a good job of making some good pars. I had a solid day overall."

The Jaguars took full advantage of favorable conditions in round one as junior Titus Boswell shot 5-under 67 and senior Noah Kirsch came in at 3-under 69. Both made six birdies during their opening round while Keaton Parmley made five as part of his even par 72. Schier closed out the scoring four with a 1-over 73 with five birdies. Freshman Jack Scudder posted a round of 79 and Preston Broce shot 76 while playing as an individual. 

Schier was the story in round two, carding 2-under 70 including three birdies in a four hole stretch at two different points during the round. He opened with three birdies on his first four holes to get to 3-under. After a pair of bogeys, he later made three more birdies to get to 4-under before a pair of late bogeys ended the round at 70. 

Parmley was next in line at 3-over 75 and Scudder posted a 4-over 76. Boswell was countable at 79 while Kirsch shot 81 in the afternoon round. Broce had a round of 70 in round two. 

Morehead State's Seamus Bogan topped the leaderboard at 9-under after two rounds and Youngstown State's Ryan Sam was second at 7-under. 

The event will conclude with a final round on Tuesday.
