The Flames posted a 1-under par 287 on Saturday at Duke University Golf Club (par 72, 7,146 yards). The team opened the event with a 4-over 292 on Friday.
However, the six teams that are ahead of the Flames entering tomorrow's final round fired a combined 34-under par during their second trip around Duke's home golf course.

Tournament host Duke holds a slight lead at the top of the 10-team leaderboard. The Blue Devils lead the field with an overall score of 12-under par 564 (282-282).
UNCW trails Duke by just two strokes entering tomorrow's final round, as the Seahawks 36-hole total stands at a 10-under par 566 (283-283).
Harvard and Loyola (Md.) were two of the hottest teams on the course today, carding a 10-under par 278.
Harvard (293-278) shares third place with Indiana (286-285) as both teams enter the final round with an overall score of 5-under par 571.
Loyola leapfrogged the Flames on the leaderboard and is in sixth place, five shots clear of Liberty with a 2-under par 574 (296-278).
Liberty will enter tomorrow's final round with three golfers inside the top 25 individual rankings.

Outside of their starting five golfers, Liberty has three other players competing in the tournament as an individual.
