unter High graduate Olivia Harding received national recognition after having one of the best statistical seasons in Snow College’s brief nine-year women's soccer history. Harding became a Badger legend leaving a mark in the school’s record books. “I loved my time at Snow College,” Harding said. “I played a year before my mission. Coming back was interesting. I had a new coach and new teammates. I grew to love it more and more.” Following her team's successful season Harding was named the Scenic West Athletic Conference Player of the Year. She was also named second team NJCAA All-American. She led the Badgers with 18 goals and eight assists and helped the team land in the conference championship game for the ninth time. “It felt so crazy to see my name on the list for those awards. Knowing what hard work I had done. It felt good to have my efforts acknowledged and recognized,” she said. Harding began her soccer career at 5 years old on the fields at Hunter Park and eventually starred at Hunter High School. Her senior year she scored five goals for the Wolverines as they finished 7-7. She chose to continue her soccer career at Snow College. “I had a fantastic coach and teammates at Snow. That was such a factor in my having such a good season. I knew I was depended on and trusted by my teammates and coach,” Harding said.
