The Rebels are one-over par for the tourney and trail leader New Mexico by 13 shots heading into Saturday's final round. Individually, Colorado State's Martin Laird blistered the course with a six-under 66 to take a three stroke lead at eight-under par. UNLV's Travis Whisman is the Rebels' top individual, tied for ninth at two-under. He fired even par 72 on Friday. The Rebels' best round of the day came from All-American Ryan Moore. Moore carded 71 to move to two-over and sits in a tie for 17th. Rounding out the team scorecard were freshman Ryan Keeney, who carded a 73, and sophomore JC Deacon, who shot 74. Brien Davis' 75 was discarded. On the leaderboard, Deacon is tied for 12th at even par, Davis sits 22nd at three-over, and Keeney is tied for 27th at five-over.
