Senior Sam Meuret shot a 69 (3-under) in the second round to help Iowa maintain their spot in second.

“I felt like I was struggling to get going, so the eagle was a great jump-start to my round,” Meuret said in a release. “It’s always a good feeling to help the team out with a good round, especially when we’re in a good position. I did a good job today of keeping the ball in front of me and avoiding any tricky shots. I tried to make it as easy on myself as I could.”
