Head Coach Mike Welch on Olsen: "Kamie has worked hard to become one of the top blockers in the conference. She takes up a lot of space at the net. Kamie has worked hard to improve her lateral speed, and is working well with our outside blockers. Offensively, she has been making spectacular plays and bouncing the ball well. Look for Kamie to come and play big during her senior year."
