“Olivia is one of the best-trained setters we’ve ever had coming into the program,” Skinner said. “She has the uncanny ability to locate the ball exactly where her hitters need it and has an IQ of the game unlike any player her age. Olivia really sees the game happen before others.”

An AVCA 2014-15 Under Armour Second-Team All-American, Anna Nyberg comes to Lexington after four years competing for Tomahawk High School. On the varsity squad all four seasons, Nyberg is the school record holder after she eclipsed the 2,000 career kill mark this season.

Ranked No. 68 in Prep Volleyball’s “Senior Aces,” Nyberg earned All-State First Team honors in 2014. She was named the GNC Player of the Year this season and was a unanimous selection to the GNC All-Conference First Team along with earning Channel 12 Volleyball Player of the Year accolades in 2013.

“Anna is an elite skilled five- tool outside hitter that can execute all facets of the game at a high level for her age,” Skinner said. “She has been a winner in high school her whole career and will add that mentality to Kentucky volleyball next fall.”
