Freshmen Leading Way For Mean Green At Aggie

BRYAN, Texas - The UNT men's golf team battled tough winds for a second straight day but shot a second-round 301 and sits in a tie for seventh place with No. 46 Houston at 22-over par heading into Sunday's final round of The Aggie Invitational at Traditions Golf Club.
The Mean Green were led by a pair of freshmen, as Nikhil Gopal shot a team-best 2-over 74 and is at 4-over for the tournament in a tie for 22nd place. Fellow freshman Vicente Marzilio shot a 4-over 76 and is tied for 34th at 5-over par for the tournament. Junior Lenny Bergsson shot a 3-over 75 on Saturday to move up to a tie for 50th at 9-over. Gopal led the team on Saturday with four birdies but a double-bogey 5 on the par-3 second hole stopped him from shooting an even-par 72 on the day.
"The wind was polar opposite today from yesterday, blowing 20 mph-plus out of the north, but I'm really proud of how the men hung in there and adjusted to the difficult wind conditions," UNT head coach Brad Stracke said. "I'm looking for a strong finish tomorrow."
The Mean Green will be paired in Sunday's final round with Houston and Nebraska, who trails Houston and North Texas by one shot.
