The Red Raiders shot a 1-under 287, just one of four teams in the 15-team field, which has 11 team ranked in Golfstat's top 40, to end the second round in the red, just three shots off the best team round of the day.
After today's round, Tech has closed the gap on the leaders, now sitting just seven shots off the lead in seventh place, and four shots out of fourth place.
