HEBRON, Ky. - Cleveland State shot rounds of 303 and 302 and is tied for 10th place after the first two rounds of the Cincinnati Bearcat Invitational on Monday at the par-72, 6,103-yard Traditions G.C.

"I thought we played well in the first round and were only a few shots back," head coach Steve Weir said. "But we couldn't get anything going in the second round and other teams figured out the course a little better than we did. Hopefully we can come out tomorrow and put together a good final round to give us some confidence as we head into the winter months and prepare for the spring season."

The Vikings are just one shot behind Wright State for ninth place and are only five strokes behind Western Kentucky for fifth place as the teams are closely bunched together after two rounds.

Ball State leads the event at 589, while Bowling Green is second at 591 and Miami (Ohio) third at 592.

Senior Kyle Cobb was CSU's top player today, firing rounds of 75-73 (148) to tie for 12th place after the first rwo rounds.

Junior Kent Monas is two shots back at 150 and is tied for 25th place after rounds of 76-74 today.

The final round of the event is scheduled to take place on Tuesday (Oct. 13) beginning with a 9:00 a.m. shotgun start.
