LORTON, Va. - The La Salle golf team got off to a slow start at the Patriot Intercollegiate, but rallied to post a 302 in round one and a 303 in round two and stands in 13th place through 36 holes. The third and final round begins on Monday morning. 

The Explorers were +16 as a team through the first nine holes of the day but played the back nine +2 as a team to record the 302 (+18) in the opening round. That number included a one-under final nine from freshman Nick Geiman and an even-par nine from redshirt junior PJ Acierno.
