Ayla Olson is emerging as a do-it-all rookie force for Saint Mary’s
Ayla Olson is already looking like a matchup headache for Saint Mary’s in the 2025-26 season, earning MIAC Rookie of the Year after averaging 17.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.7 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game in conference play[9]. She brings two-way impact, inside scoring, hustle stats, and a streaky playmaking edge—plus she’s shown she can erupt for big nights, including 32 points against Gustavus and a 28.5-point average over a two-game stretch[4]. If your team wants a forward who competes hard, stuffs the stat sheet, and already plays with veteran confidence, she’s absolutely worth the hype[2][9].
