SAINT HELENA ISLAND, S.C. - Drexel battled its way through the second round and will begin the final round of the 2023 Colonial Athletic Association Championships in second place. The Dragons were able to grind their way through to remain in contention entering the final 18 holes on the Cotton Dike Course.
Drue Nicholas led the way for DU. The junior from Egg Harbor Township, N.J. made four birdies on his way to a three-under par 69.

English is tied for sixth place overall, while both Nyumukondiwa and Griffin Mitchell are tied for 19th place overall after 36 holes. Mitchell and Liam Hart each recorded four-over-par 76 on the afternoon.
