Olive Fickel made her mark as a dependable DS/Libero this weekend. Her platform was steady, her reads were sharp, and she consistently got her feet around the ball to deliver clean first contacts. Olive covered tips and short shots with quick reflexes and wasn’t afraid to lay out for a tough dig. What stood out most was her communication—always talking, always directing, and keeping the back row organized. Coaches looking for a gritty defender with a calm presence and high volleyball IQ should have Olive on their radar.~Theresa @prepdigdakotas
