Junior Philip Pettitt fired a 6-over-par 78 and sits tied for 36th.
Freshman James Brannen was next for Tennessee. Brannen shot a 9-over-par 81 and is tied for 58th.
Tino Weiss rounded out the Volunteer lineup. Weiss shot a 10-over-par 82 to stand in a tie for 68th.
Alabama holds a one-stroke lead over the field, shooting a 15-over-par 303. Vanderbilt is in second with Georgia State in third. UNC-Charlotte and Augusta State are tied for fourth.
