“On and off the field, she's known to be a quiet person who sticks to herself and her friends. And to be honest, she doesn't need to talk a lot. She lets her game do that. She just has to look at you and you know whether you're doing good or bad.”

— Viviana Lujano, Olivia's younger sister

“She sees goal opportunities differently and always has the best way to score or set someone up. We've gotten close over these four years, and she is just very positive and funny. She always makes sure everyone is seen and heard.”
