Thompson Earns Athlete of the Month Award

Each month, UNOH is teaming up with Mercy Health to award an Athlete of the Month based on their athletic and academic performance as well as being a positive representative for UNOH and UNOH Athletics. Each month's winner will be presented with a T-Shirt from Cappy's Sportswear and a $25 gift certificate from Lock 16 Steakhouse. Nominees are presented by their respective coaches and voted on by the UNOH Athletic Training staff and Athletic Administration.

For the month of November, Olivia Thompson of the women's basketball team has been given the award for her leadership both on and off the court. Thompson is averaging almost ten points per game this season while shooting 41% from the field. As a freshman, she has been a jack of all trades grabbing 25 rebounds with 15 assists, 11 steals and 3 blocks. Thompson also held a 3.4+ GPA in her first quarter at UNOH showing leadership in the classroom and on the court.

Words from Coach Vavro: Olivia epitomizes everything it is to be a student-athlete. From day one on campus, Liv has had a tremendous work ethic, is a great teammate and does whatever is asked of her with a smile on her face. I have seen great strides from her on the court and we can't wait to see what she can accomplish the remainder of the season and beyond.
