Goldberg carded a season-best 6-under 66 over the first 18 holes, following with a 3-under 69 effort during the afternoon to finish just one stroke in back of co-leaders Taylor Coffman of Nevada and UAB's Zack Sucher, who both ended the day at 10-under 134.
As a team, tournament host SDSU completed the first two rounds in a tie for fourth place along with Mountain West Conference rival Colorado State after both schools shot an 11-under 565 at the 7,323-yard, par-72 Barona Creek Golf Club. Wichita State finds itself atop the 18-team leaderboard with a 21-under 555, followed by second-place UAB (-15) and San Diego (-13).
Individually, the Aztecs also received a steady performance from senior Chris Cole (Abergavenny, Wales), who finished the first 36 holes in a tie for 13th with a 3-under 141. Junior Jamie Puterbaugh (Carlsbad, Calif.) fired a 1-over 145 to tie for 36th, while both of sophomore Adam Porzak's (Poway, Calif.) first two rounds counted towards SDSU's team score in his Aztec debut. The transfer from Pepperdine carded a 2-over 146 on rounds of 74-72, tying for 44th on the day. Junior Chad Moscovic (Stockton, Calif.) struggled during the morning session with an 82, but rebounded nicely during the second round with a 1-under 71, helping the scarlet and black climb two spots in the team standings in the afternoon.
Six other golfers also competed as individuals for San Diego State, led by senior Cory Segall (La Jolla, Calif.), who fired a 1-over 145 to tie for 36th after two rounds.
