Part 2/7:
Olivia Babcock, a native of Los Angeles and an alumna of the prestigious Sierra Canyon High School, explained what initially drew her to the University of Pittsburgh. Unlike many recruitment experiences where players are often fed the typical sales pitch, Olivia found a sense of authenticity within the Pitt program. The values reiterated by the coaching staff were not only consistent but mirrored the experiences expressed by current players, allowing Olivia to feel like part of the team from the moment she arrived for her official visit. This instant connection led to her rapid commitment, proving that she had found her "home away from home."
