Olivia has been quite an interior presence for the Lady Kougars the last two seasons, especially on the boards, where she has averaged nearly 10 rebounds per game over that 2-year span. As a Junior, she started to score it better inside, but her primary benefits to a team right now are here size and strength and her love for physicality, plus she plays with a nice motor for a traditional post. She does have solid hands and has worked on her finishing moves, so the potential is there at the offensive end, but defensively she’ll battle 6-4 girls without hesitation.

Olivia is somewhat hidden up in Northwest Indiana, but I think she’s someone a lot of Midwestern small colleges could appreciate. She is extremely strong, physical, and aggressive. She has soft hands and catches it well, she has learned how to turn and finish over both shoulders, plus she has become much more productive in the mid-range game. Since they’ve grown up 30 minutes apart, she has sort of a rivalry with 6-4 Ivy Henderson Ivy Henderson 6'4" | C Crown Point | 2027 State IN from Crown Point (on this list), and Olivia has gotten the better of Ivy on more than one occasion, specifically because she can be more physical at times.

I’ve been impressed with Olivia’s continued growth as a player over the past couple of years. She is powerfully strong, physical, and aggressive inside, but she also has soft hands, nice touch in the mid-post, and she works hard at establishing position early. If she continues to improve her skillset and finishing moves, and she defends a little better around the perimeter, there should be several interested small colleges over the next year or so.

A strong physical presence on the boards, able to battle through contact and go up strong at the rim. Such a force in the paint. Defensively can protect the rim. Was impressed with her as the main threat of NWI Thunder , she was a big factor for that squad!
