The No. 39 Bulldogs held a lead for the majority of the first round, including an advantage with only a few holes left to be played, but the Kingsmen and Stags each closed strong as the Maroon and Grey shot a 290 putting them behind by four strokes. The Bulldogs do hold a three-stroke advantage over fourth place Occidental College.
