Coach Soboleski Comments: “We’re hoping that our All-PSAC West Rookie of the Year can pick up where she left off. She came in as a raw freshman with an unbelievable ceiling. We didn’t expect her to work her way into the lineup until midway through the season, but due to an injury she had to step in and play the right side. She did a great job. She is so quick and agile. Plus she has great natural jumping ability. Olivia makes it look so

effortless. We look for her to get more points at the net hitting and blocking, and also behind the line with her jump serve. She will play either in the middle or on the right side.”
