“Olivia is a great athlete who has helped lead Western Christian to a pair of state titles and a state runner-up finish the last three years,” commented Northwestern Head Coach Kyle Van Den Bosch. “Olivia does so many things well on the court and her leadership and competitiveness are contagious with her teammates. We are excited to welcome Olivia to Northwestern College and our volleyball program.”
