GRANVILLE, OH - On March 27, 2025, Denison women's basketball assistant coach Olivia Woolam was named to the Women's Basketball Coaches Association Thirty Under 30 program, which is presented by Morgan Stanley Global Sports and Entertainment.

The program recognizes 30 up-and-coming women's basketball coaches aged 30 and under at all levels of the game. Those recognized have exemplified their involvement in community service, mentorship, and impact on others, as well as their professional manner, attitude, and professional association involvement. 

"I am so grateful to have Coach Liv in our program," stated Mo Hirt, Denison's Head Women's Basketball Coach. "Her passion, commitment, and love for the game have made us better since the moment she stepped on campus. She is so deserving of this Thirty Under 30 award. Her future in this profession is incredibly bright!"
