Jeremiah Bolon, TR Nolen, and Zach Withers were in the 90's after the first round. The team was looking to make a move after day 1.

However, Freshman Dong Soo Lee led the Mountaineers for day 2, posting a career best in 77. Jeremiah Bolon and TR Nolen improved with J. Bolon posting 87 and TR Nolen firing an 89. Zach Withers grinded all day but the luck was not on his side as he posted a 104.
