New York University's men's and women's golf teams concluded the second round of play at the Jekyll Island Invitational, taking place at the Jekyll Island Golf Club on the Georgia coast.

NYU's 13th-ranked women are in eighth out of 24 teams, matching their first round score with 301 strokes on day two.

Nalinda Wanikpun jumped six spots, sitting in a four-way tie for 13th individually. She improved by a stroke today, shooting one-over par 73.

Mimi Chen was the Violets' biggest riser of the day, climbing 12 spots as she's tied for 20th behind a one-over par 73 in the second round. Aliea Clark and Madison Phung shot 77 and 78, respectively, both claiming a two-day total of 153 strokes and are tied for 38th.

The  20th-ranked Violet men are in 20th (out of 30) as a team after 36 holes, improving by six strokes today (294).

Joseph Burlison and Robbie Keyes are locked in a tie for 28th individually. Burlison shot a par-72 for a two-day total of 143 while Keyes slipped a bit in the second round (73), dropping 15 spots on the leaderboard.

Jorge Montero found his stroke today, improving by 19 places (t-109th) with a three-over par 75.
