ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. - The Embry-Riddle Men's Golf team rose three spots on the leaderboard during day two of the season-opening Jay Jennison Cup. The Eagles were three under during round three to help the team jump up three spots into a tie for 12th with Lenoir-Rhyne and Flagler's 'B' team. 

Inclement weather eventually forced the postponement of the second round to Tuesday, forcing teams to complete 24-28 holes during a day typically reserved just for the third round. Round two resumed at 8 a.m. while round three followed immediately after. Tuesday also included sporadic showers throughout the day.
