Post has won five consecutive conference crowns and senior David McGregor is the three-time defending individual champion. McGregor, who hails from Helensburgh, Scotland, won a playoff against teammate Lee Wanklyn last season to claim the individual title, finishing with rounds of 76 and 71 for a total of 147.

Post won last season's tournament at Lyman Orchards Golf Club in Middlefield, Conn., by two strokes over Wilmington University. The Eagles finished with a two-day total of 615 (310, 305), while Wilmington improved by 11 strokes on day two (314, 303) to make things interesting and ended with a combined 617.

In addition to McGregor, sophomore Thomas Rees is back for Post after finishing eighth at last season's tournament, while sophomore Marchant de Villier tied for 20^th. Three-time CACC Rookie of the Week Ross Earnshaw will help Post's cause.

Wilmington returns three players who finished in the top 10 at the 2010 Tournament in the trio of sophomores Daniel Ott (third), Paul Tighe (fourth) and John Perrine (T-fifth). Reigning CACC Rookie of the Week, Andrew Baldo, will also look to place well for the Wildcats.
