The event is being hosted at the Palm Valley Golf Club, a par-72 course totaling 7,015 yards. Host Grand Canyon leads all squads with a 13-under-par 563. Central Oklahoma and Weber State were the only other teams to card totals under par, and both sit tied for second place with one-under 575s.

Antelope seniors Jon Davis and Andy Davis (no relation) share the overnight lead with eight-under 136s, two shots better than Mark Lawless of Cal State Stanislaus. Santa Clara is led by senior Drew Corwin, who registered a career-low 69 in the first round and is currently tied for 22nd place at a two-over 146. Sophomore Justin Ahasic is just two strokes behind his Bronco teammate, while junior Sandy Horacek carded rounds of 75 and 74, good for a share of 40th place.
