USAFA, Colo. – Boise State men's golf shot a 3-under, 285 in the second round of the Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational, Saturday.
The Broncos entered the day in 10th place. A strong back nine moved Boise State into a tie for sixth heading into Sunday's final round. The Broncos are tied with Texas State and Utah State, three shots behind UC Davis. Host Air Force leads the tournament at 12-under.
"The guys did a respectable job of battling back on our second nine today," Boise State head coach Dan Potter said. "It was nice to see them grab some momentum and finish the round well. We still have to be a lot cleaner from start to finish tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do in the final round.

Sophomore Hugo Townsend made three birdies over the final-five holes to finish the day 3-under. At 4-under for the tournament, Townsend is tied for sixth, six shots off the lead.
Junior Skyler Eubank backed up his first round 72 with a 2-under 70 in the second round. He buried birdies on five of the final-10 holes and is tied for 14th.
Senior Brian Humphreys closed the day with a flourish by making three birdies over the last-five holes. He finished the day 1-under and is tied for 34th at 2-over.
