Olson was on the hook for a pair of winning decisions and a save in high-leverage situations to help Hillsdale win the conference title for the second consecutive season.
As a freshman, the righty demonstrated poise while pitching three consecutive games after strong starts in the circle from Dana Weidinger.
Olson, Weidinger, Julia Sayles and primary position player Natalie Walters, all made significant contributions to the Chargers’ championship drive.
Olson recorded the final two outs in the championship game as Cedarville was threatening with runners at the corners and one away in a save situation.
Against No. 3 seed Tiffin, Olson finished the final 2.2 innings and was the pitcher of record as the Chargers poured it on with four runs in the top of the sixth inning. She also tossed 2.2 scoreless frames in the extra-innings win over No. 5 KWC.
