Olin repeats as Big Ten Golfer of the Week after her final round one-under 71 helped the 25th-ranked Wolverines tie for fourth at the 2005 UNLV Spring Invitational (March 14-16) at the Black Mountain Golf and Country Club.  Olin finished as the top Wolverine for the second straight tournament with a tie for fifth showing after a 54-hole total of 225.  She jumped seven spots after her final round to get her fifth top-five finish of the season.  Olin recovered nicely from an opening round of 81 in Monday's windy conditions with a one-over 73, which included four birdies, in Tuesday's second round and a one-under 71, which included four more birdies, in the final round.

Olin's final round one-under 71 ties her season-best and gives her back-to-back tournaments closing out with a 71.  She is leading the Maize and Blue with a 75.17 per round average, which is a career-best pace and a U-M school record pace, by almost a stroke and a half.
