She is committed to Michigan State and has been a key piece of the DSHA squad who is back-to-back state champions. She led the team in aces (72), digs (502), and service receptions (516) and had over 100 assists. Olivia never misses a beat on the court. She is calm, smart, and confident with an incredibly high volleyball IQ. Her ability to play consistently and low error on serve receive just add to her already high level of play. In her 516 service receptions during the high school season, she only got aced 14 times. That is an almost unheard-of number. Olivia was named 2nd Team All-State and was named to the Division 1 All-Tournament Team.
