Biography |
The Spartan’s net minder prepped in East Lansing and is hoping to solidify Michigan State’s last line of defense. The quick-handed, sure-passing goalie gives MSU a real stopper defensively and bolsters an ever-improving defense. “Olivia made a real impression on us this spring and I can’t wait for her to really get comfortable in our system and just let her talents take over. Confidence is the key element for any goaltender in any sport and Olivia gets more comfortable every day,” Normand said. “I think Olivia, given time, will be our regular goalie for the foreseeable future.” Akerly will share goalie duties in 2016 with returning starter Kelly Bertolini. This is the first time in six years the Spartans will dress two goaltenders. |
