Hamilton Southeastern girls basketball star Olivia Brown has announced her commitment to the University of Akron.
Brown, an incoming senior for the Royals, made the announcement on Twitter Friday afternoon. The Zips are a Division I school that competes in the Mid-America Conference. Akron finished its 2021-22 season with a 17-12 record, going 13-7 in the MAC, under fourth-year coach Melissa Jackson. Last year’s season was a great improvement over the 2020-21 campaign, when the Zips were 4-14 in the MAC and 7-13 overall.
Brown was a first team all-county and all-Hoosier Crossroads Conference selection during her junior year. She averaged 9.0 points per game and was one of the best ball distributors in the state, dishing out 8.3 assists per game. Brown also collected 5.4 rebounds per contest last season.
