At 23-under-par 553, Stanford leads Virgina by 16 strokes. North Carolina (5-under), Louisville (3-under) and Wake Forest (1-under) are the only other teams below par. Georgia Tech, Clemson, Southern Methodist and Florida State are tied at 1-over and N.C. State is 3-over.

Edan Cui of Stanford leads the individual race at 9-under, two ahead of SMU’s William Sides. Wake’s Jakob Melin, who shot 69 Friday, is tied for sixth at 5-under. Niall Sheils Donegan, shot 70 Friday to lead UNC at 3-under. Rylan Shim and Xander Goboy are at even-par for N.C. State.
