RESULTS

DAVIDSON, N.C. -- Career performances from a pair of golfers paced the Richmond Spiders to a combined score of 17-over par (593) in the first two rounds of the River Run Collegiate at Blue Hill Country Club in Davidson, N.C. on Monday. Senior Ben Wanichek fired back-to-back rounds of even-par 72 on Monday and is tied for 11th at 144 (E), the lowest 36-hole total of his Spiders career. On Tuesday, Wanichek will be seeking his first top-10 finish since the 2016 Atlantic 10 Championship, when he tied for seventh.

Wanichek is just one stroke in front of sophomore Michael Baker, who shot a career-low 72 (E) in the first round Monday morning followed by a 1-over 73 the second round on Monday afternoon. Baker, who is tied for 13th, recorded the best finish of his collegiate career with a tie for 40th at last year's VCU Janney Shootout.

A pair of Spiders making their collegiate debuts, freshmen Jordan Secret and Michael Childress, are both tied for 59th at 13-over par (157).

The third and final round will begin at 8:00 AM Tuesday.
