Zips poised to win MAC
Golf
Akron leads by 10 after the first two rounds of the MAC Tournament.
Four of the Zips' five golfers are in the tournament's top six, individually.
Leading the whole thing is Brad Wright, who is 6-under. Colin Clemente (3-under), Ryan Culbertson (2-under) and Blake Sattler (2-under) are close behind.
Ten strokes back, Ball State is in second place, followed by Kent State (11 behind Akron), Eastern Michigan (12 behind) and Ohio (14 behind).
The nine-team field will play a round Friday and a round Saturday to determine the conference champ. If Akron can close it out, it will be the first secondary sport that actually followed through on a promising nonconference performance to win the MAC (track and soccer not included).
