SEASIDE, Calif. and WINDSOR, Colo. - Colorado School of Mines split its squad on Monday, competing in the second round of the Otter Invitational in California and starting off play at The Battle at the Dance in Colorado.

The Orediggers' scoring lineup at the Otter Invitational remains unchanged in ninth place through 36 holes as Liam Allan, Enzo Martinez, and Davis Kushner all moved up the leaderboard in the second round. Mines matched its team total from Sunday with a 303 to stand at +30, with Menlo (+6) leading at Bayonet/Black Horse GC.

Allan is tied for eighth at +2 after his 74, while Martinez made a big move with one shot as he eagled the 527-yard 18th to finish with a 73 and advance to T15 (+4). Kushner's 75 also brought him up the leaderboard to T28 (+8).

Giacomo Gaggero was the fourth score at 81 as he stands T65 (+16) and Zach Shallat shot 82 to be T68 (+18). Allan is five shots off the leading pace of Chico State's Ty Weaver (-3) with two players tied at -2.

At The Battle at the Dance in Windsor, Colo., Mitch Stock is in fourth place after a career-best 68 as the Orediggers attacked RainDance National with a much-improved second round. As a team, Mines bounced back in a big way from a morning 314 (+26) to shoot 291 (+3) in the second round, the best in the field. That puts the Orediggers in fourth place at +29, with Hastings (+12) leading the way.

Stock (+1) is five shots off the lead after a terrific 68 in the afternoon, highlighted by an eagle on his third hole and three birdies in a six-hole span to finish his Monday.
