SAN ANTONIO, Texas – The Southeastern Louisiana men's golf team recovered from a rough start to the second round to stand tied for seventh after the opening 36 holes Monday at the UTSA Lone Star Intercollegiate at Briggs Ranch Golf Club.
   
    The Lions shot an 18-over-par 306 in the second round following a 14-over 302 in the first and are tied with Cincinnati at 32-over 608. No. 50 New Mexico leads at 3-over 579 after shooting a 2-under 286 in the second round. North Texas is second at 19-over 595 and is followed by Rice (597), host UTSA (599), Texas El Paso (603) and Mississippi State (606).
   
    "That's about how we played," Southeastern head coach Jake Narro said of the Lions' place in the standings. "We didn't play quite good enough to be much higher than that and I'm glad we're there, quite frankly. The field is so tightly bunched to where three or four bad holes in a row can move you eight or 10 spots so we need to have a good round tomorrow."
   
    Senior Lawrence Allan led Southeastern with a 5-over 149 that has him in a seven-way tie for 17^th. Ohio State's Tee-k Kelly shot a 4-over 140 and leads New Mexico's Gustavo Morantes and Louisiana's Paul San by three strokes.
   
    The final round is scheduled to begin Tuesday with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. Live scoring is available at golfstat.com and at www.LionSports.net.
   
    Allan was at 1-under through his first 10 holes with birdies at the par-4 14^th and par-3 17^th. He went on to close the back nine at 3-over with a birdie at the par-5 fifth to finish at 2-over 74.
   
    Allan was at 5-over for his first 12 holes in the second round before running off consecutive birdies on the par-4 fourth, the fifth and the par-4 sixth to finish the round at 3-over 75.
   
    Junior James Anstiss shot a pair of 75s and is in a four-way tie for 24^th at 6-over 144. Anstiss was at 4-over through his first six holes but bounced back with birdies at the par-3 15^th, par-4 18^th and the fifth. He again started slow in the second round, standing 5-over through his first eight before recovering to shoot 2-under over the last 10 with birdies on the fifth and sixth.
   
    Senior Eamon Bradley was tied with Allan at 17^th following a first-round 2-over 74 before shooting a 6-over 78 in the second round. He is in a five-way tie for 35^th at 8-over 152. Bradley shot 1-over 37 on each side in the first round with birdies at the par-5 13^th, par-4 16^th and the fifth. He also birdied the par-4 second and fifth in the second round to help him recover from a nine on the par-5 11^th.
   
    Junior Paul Obermann shot a 13-over 157 and is in a seven-way tie for 61^st. Obermann opened with a 7-over 79 that included a birdie on the 11^th. He added birdies on the 13^th, the 14^th and the fifth in shooting a 6-over 78 in the second round.
   
    Junior Gustavo Leon was tied for 98^th with a 24-over 168 that included rounds of 82 and 86. He birdied the par-5 seventh in the second round.
   
    "The conditions were tough," Narro said. "The golf course was playing very hard. The weather was perfect but the golf course is very firm. The ball is really bouncing around and is really hard to control if you're not on. Which is a good thing. That means if you play good, you can pass a lot of people."
