Olin has a top-five effort to his credit and three top-10 finishes on the season. He took second at the Tennessee River Rumble, sixth at the Bearcat Fall Invitational and ninth at the Wexford Intercollegiate.
Abrahamsson, a senior from Gothenburg, Sweden, has a 72.1 stroke average that is second on the team. He has a low round of 67 on the year. Abrahamsson claimed a share of an individual title and has two top-five efforts on the season. He tied for first at the Wexford Intercollegiate at even-par 216 and was fifth at the Spring Bulldog Clash.
McDonald O'Brien, a sophomore from Shrewsbury, England, is third on the team with a 72.13 stroke average. He won the 27th annual Cleveland Golf Palmetto Intercollegiate with a 3-under total of 207 at Palmetto Golf Club. McDonald O'Brien has a pair of top-five finishes on the season.
