Boulding named to Canada West all-rookie team

After posting the second-most kills among rookies in the conference, outside hitter recognized as the ninth conference all-rookie in team history

KELOWNA, B.C. – UBC Okanagan Heat outside hitter Olivia Boulding was named to the Canada West all-rookie team on Wednesday as the conference announced its 2024-25 all-stars and all-rookies.
 
Boulding, a native of Victoria, was among the best players in the conference all season, finishing 11th overall in kills per set at 3.09 and 12th in total kills at 210. Those marks were also second-best among all rookies in Canada West.
 
After joining the Heat from the University of Montana, where she redshirted her first year, Boulding burst onto the scene for UBCO with a 16-kill performance in her very first regular season match.
 
She would go on to record 10 or more kills in nine more matches for the Heat, including a season-best 25 kills in a four-set match against the Manitoba Bisons which set a new team-record for most kills in a four-set match and the second-most kills in a game in Heat history. It also earned her a nod as the Canada West women's volleyball player of the week.
 
In total for her season, in addition to her kills per set and total kills numbers, Boulding recorded 248.5 points, 3.7 points per set, 148 digs, 24 blocks and 25 aces over 19 matches.
 
Thanks to her outstanding performance, Boulding becomes the ninth member of the Heat to be named to the conference all-rookie squad.
