Coach Graham: "Our players absolutely loved Olivia when she came on her visit. She fit right in with our team instantly. Not only did she impress our players on the court, she impressed them even more off the court. After overcoming an injury during the season, Olivia continued to gain momentum as an impact player. She helps checks a lot of the boxes of what we need to be successful. The engineering offerings Montana Tech provides will set Olivia up for tremendous success the rest of her life. Olivia will also have the opportunity to experience the numerous outdoor recreational and golfing opportunities Butte and its surrounding areas provide.”
