Raiders lacking low scores in C-USA opening round

TEXARKANA, Ark. – Middle Tennessee will have some ground to make up Tuesday during the second round of the Conference USA Championship after landing in 10th after a first round team score of 8-over par 296 on Monday at Texarkana Country Club.

Despite being six places removed from the Top 4 spot they need to claim a berth in match play, the Blue Raiders are only seven strokes behind fourth place Louisiana Tech (+1) with 36 holes of stroke play still to come.

"Today was definitely a tough day for us," Head Coach Mark McEntire said.
