Oliver was the X factor. A great rebounder and finisher at the rim. Showed her ability to create extra possessions for her team with her rebounding and defense. A player that scores when needed and knows how to use her body to finish through contact. Finished both games with a double double in points and rebounds.

Up form No. 64: Tough guard defends, rebounds and drills threes. Uses both hands around the basket. Blocks out once a shot goes up to get into position for putbacks. Well-rounded floor game. Starting to draw D-I attention, earning a Georgia Southern offer.

Her strength makes up for her size, meaning she plays like she is above 6’0. Solid, tough player. When the ball is being tipped around by multiple players off of a shot, she is the often the one to grab it. Once she has a hand on it she is ready to push the ball down the floor in transition.

What she lacks in height, she makes up for in strength. Meaning you can’t miss her powerful drives to the basket. If her man backs off and gives her space, she drains the 3 in your face.
