As a team, Richmond fired a 36-hole total of 280-280=560 (8-under par) on Monday and is in a three-way tie for third with Ohio State and Eastern Kentucky. VCU leads the team standings (555) and Northwestern is second (557).
Senior Brad Miller posted a 139 Monday (70-69) and is tied for 11th, while sophomore Jack Wilkes is T58 (74-73=147).
