- Junior Travis Trace led the UNF travel team, finishing the day T-17th at 1-under 139 (69-70)

- Junior Andrew Alligood (73-75) and sophomore Michael Mattiace (76-72) rounded out the UNF lineup T-55th at 148
TEAM SCOREBOARDÂ
#20 Arkansas (549), #43 South Florida (553), Liberty (554), #28 Tennessee (558), #24 North Carolina (560), #11 LSU (562), Jacksonville (562), Lipscomb (565), #27 North Florida (567), East Carolina (569), Campbell (575), #23 Duke (584), USC Upstate (607), Winthrop (611)Â
INSIDE THE SCORECARD
- Batchelor's opening round 4-under 66 marked a career best
- Knowles is looking to earn his fifth consecutive Top 10 individual finish of the year
- UNF tallied 127 pars over the opening 36 holes with Trace topping the squad with 27
