WATERTOWN, Conn. -- Senior Joe Ensign is vying for his first invitational win of the year after coming up short in three earlier in the season as he currently leads the Post Eagles Invitational at the Watertown Golf Club after two rounds. Ensign finished one-under-par for the day while Post University Men's Golf currently sits in eighth place at 64-over-par and sitting 40 strokes off the pace of fellow conference team Dominican (N.Y.) who leads at 27-over-par just ahead of St. Thomas Aquinas at 31-over-par.

HOW IT HAPPENED 
From start to finish, Ensign held the lead on the first day of the invite after shooting two-under-par to lead Bruno Pardo of Dominican (N.Y.) by one stroke and Kyle Puchol of Assumption University by two strokes. The senior went on to shoot one-over-par in round two, bringing his total score to one-under-par for the day while Pardo fell back into third at one-over-par and Alexander Lundvall from Dominican (N.Y.) pulled to even with par, just one stroke away from Ensign heading into the final round.

Outside of those three, Diego Ocasio of St. Thomas Aquinas College currently sits at five-over-par, six strokes off Ensign in the lead followed by his teammate Tanner Little and Puchol at six-over-par. But outside of Ensign, the rest of the Eagles would struggle as freshman Brandon Frye, who was playing independently for Post, finished 21st with a 13-over-par after going for five-over-par and eight-over-par in his two rounds. 

Sophomore Flo Schimek was the next Eagle on the leaderboard way down in a tie for 41st at 20-over-par with a pair of matching 10-over-par rounds just ahead of senior Amal Jha at 21-over-par after he went seven-over-par and 14-over-par on the day. Sophomore Braden Shea and junior Miles Maresch were the other two golfers in the team of five counting toward the team scores with the latter finishing tied for 58th at 27-over-par and the former going for 31-over-par. Shea had a 12-over-par and 15-over-par in two rounds while Maresch was at nine-over-par and then 22-over-par in his two. 

Junior Nathan Leonard, who was also listed as an independent competitor, was sandwiched between Shea and Maresch at 30-over-par and tied for 61st following a 12-over-par and 18-over-par rounds.
