Marco Steyn also had a strong back nine, going 3-under to finish the day with a 1-under 71.
"Mark Power stepped up in a big way today," said head coach Jerry Haas. "Marco also kept us in contention with how he finished the day. There is supposed to be rainy conditions tomorrow, so we will need to be ready for that. We aren't that far back in this star-studded field.."
