Cincinnati carded a 4-over-par Monday to move into second-place with a total score of 11-over-par 579 (291-288). UCF (289-294=583) is in third-place followed by Houston (288-297=595) and UConn (295-292=587) to round out the top-5. Â

The individual lead belongs to USF's Jimmy Jones, who fired a 3-under-par 68 in round two and is 3-under (71-68=139) for the championship as well. Cincinnati's Austin Squires also shot a 68 Monday and moved up five places in the standings into second-place at 2-under-par (72-68=140). A trio of players are tied for third at 1-under-par.
