Bredkjær closed the front side with three straight birdies, finished with six birdies against a lone bogey, and stayed bogey-free over his last 15 holes. Holtz, a Boca Raton freshman, collected six birdies across holes 8 through 15.

Hampton Roberts added a 70, Rich Wills posted an even-par 72 as the fourth counting score, and Daniel McBrien shot 74. Biagio Gagliardi, playing as an individual, also shot 72.

Northwestern was two strokes back at 10 under in the 14-team field. Seven players sat one shot off the individual lead at 4 under after 18 holes.

Play resumes Saturday and Sunday on the Creekside Course, where the Tigers will try to protect a lead built on a 20-birdie first round.
