Lipscomb University leads the event at an even par 288, ahead of second-place Troy (+3, 291) by three strokes. Kentucky rounds out the top three with a 5-over 293.

After Wajda, Ben Skogen was Wisconsin's best golfer. He shot a 4-over 76, placing him in a tie for 25th.

Jordan Hahn shot a 6-over 78 and is tied for 40th. Michael Abrahamson and Matt Ross both shot 7-over 79s, which tied them for 50th.
