EWA BEACH, Hawaii – A day after tying his worst recorded round for the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Men's Golf team, senior Micah Goulas responded with his absolute best.
Â
The New Iberia, La., native carded a career-low round of 4-under par 68 and Louisiana made one of the biggest climbs up the leaderboard to conclude the second round of the inaugural Hoakalei Country Club Invitational on Tuesday.
Â
Louisiana recorded a team score of 3-under 285 to move up five spots to 12th place at 5-over 581 after 36 holes in the 54-hole tournament that will wrap up on Wednesday. The Ragin' Cajuns will tee off at 8 a.m. (HDT) and will be paired with Sam Houston State, UTSA and Loyola Marymount.

Live results will be available at GolfStat.com.
Â
Goulas, who carded an 80 during Monday's opening round, played near flawless golf during his second turn on the par-72, 7,248-yard course. Recording five birdies on the day, Goulas started his round with a birdie at No. 15 before recording his only blemish – a bogey at the par-4, No. 16 – before closing out the back nine with par at both No. 17 and 18.
Â
A birdie at No. 1 put Goulas back below par before recording birdies at the par-3, No. 6 and at Nos. 12 and 13.
Â
Charlie Flynn rebounded from a pair of bogeys to open the day for Louisiana by posting four birdies in the round on his way to a 1-under par 71. Hudson Dubinski followed up his even-par round for the Ragin' Cajuns on Monday with a 1-under 71, highlighted by an eagle on the par-5, 537-yard No. 9.
Â
Hunter Hammett posted a 3-over 75 for Louisiana with Jack Tolson posting a 4-over 76.
Â
No. 10-ranked Louisville erased a 15-shot deficit after the first round to surge up four spots on the leaderboard and into a tie for the lead with East Tennessee after 36 holes. The Cardinals, who will compete at the 35th annual Louisiana Classics set for March 16-17 at Oakbourne Country Club, fired a team score of 11-under 277 to finish at 562 after the second round with first-day leader Ole Miss – ranked No. 41 nationally – two shots back at 564. ETSU, ranked No. 32 nationally, posted a 2-under 286 to move into a tie for the lead with San Diego (567) and Nevada (571) rounding out the top five.
Â
Cal State-Fullerton (572) was sixth overall in the 20-team field with Marquette (573), Missouri (573), Sam Houston State (575), Loyola Marymount (578) and UTSA (578) rounding out the top 10. Â Â
