JASPER, Ind. - The Cleveland State men's golf team is tied for 12th place out of 15 teams after the first two rounds of the Ball State Cardinal Classic which were played on Saturday at the par-72, 6,859-yard Sultan's Run G.C.

The Vikings shot an opening round 313 and followed that with a 305 in the afternoon round.

CSU was playing with just four players as senior Kyle Cobb had to withdraw due to illness. That meant all four scores counted for the Vikings, leaving little room for error.

"It's always hard playing four and counting four because that leaves very little room for error and makes each shot that much more important," assistant coach Nathan Miklos said. "I thought everyone played well and hung in there and battled to put together two great rounds."

James Boxley is tied for seventh place overall at 146, following rounds of 75 and 71, while Kellen Erdman shot 77-74 (151) and is in 24th place.

Boxley is four shots out of first place.

The final 18 holes of the event are scheduled for Sunday morning.
