Yes, another setter who can also attack. Sage Olson Sage Olson 5'11" | S/RS Lake Zurich | 2028 State IL is the second ranked prospect in the Illinois Class of 2028.  There is such joy in the game of Olson where she plays with pace and a spark.  She’s also going to pack a punch.  She plays for Sky High 17 Elite where she can be a right side or setter – dynamic to say the least.  I am really impressed by her athleticism and physicality.  She’s a competitor where she can will her team to a win.  

I remember watching Sage Olson Sage Olson 5'11" | S/RS Lake Zurich | 2028 State IL last year for Sky High and was so impressed, I didn’t even realize she was playing an age group up. Sage Olson Sage Olson 5'11" | S/RS Lake Zurich | 2028 State IL is a 2028 setter who is playing on the Sky High 17 Elite squad where calling her dynamic would be an understatement.  She is a left handed setter with a physical style.  She also has the ability to play on the right side.  When it comes to her offense, she knows how to score points – she picks her time wisely on when to swing as a setter.  Her ability to defend at the net and the backrow is also impressive where she is someone who is going to stress the other side of the net.  The trajectory for her at the next level is exciting where teams could use her in a variety of ways. 

Sage isn’t just a setter, she is your defensive specialist, she is your PIN on the right side, and might even be the assistant coach to help fill in when needed at this point. Watching her hustle from zone to zone to toss one-handed backsets to her right side or throwing perfectly placed 5 from the 6 or 1 zone. Making one handed dig’s laying her body out at every turn. Sage is dynamic and fun to watch, and the teammate we didn’t know we wanted. Lucky for Sky High .

I was so impressed with the play of Sage Olson who is a true quarterback at the setter position.  She is so quick to the ball where her mindset is that she is getting her hands on everything.  She can hit all the tempos to her attackers and will find a way to get a favorable matchup for her attackers.  If the situation presents itself, she isn’t afraid to be offensive.  She is a smash mouth volleyball player with some grit to her game. Oh, and she has a big lefty swing on the right side as well.
