"Olivia also brings athleticism to our program and has competed at a high level in multiple sports in high school,” said Petersen. “She has been a big contributor to her teams that have done well in volleyball and basketball. This experience will assist her in her ability to train as a Division I athlete. Olivia has the potential to make an impact in multiple positions for our program. She is a versatile athlete that we feel could compete in the middle or either pin. Attacking at any tempo and zone and her quick lateral movement, as well as a fast whip like arm are qualities that will assist her in competing at a high level."
