Taryn Olson brings senior-post savvy and efficient interior scoring to Eastern Illinois
In the 2013-14 season, Taryn Olson was a reliable 6-2 forward for Eastern Illinois, averaging 4.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 22.9 minutes per game while shooting 45% from the field, with a season-high 10 points showing she could chip in when needed. Her best traits were low-drama reliability, defensive-post toughness, and the kind of veteran presence coaches love: she played through foul trouble, battled on the glass, and fit as a physical interior piece rather than a volume scorer. If you need size, experience, and blue-collar minutes, she makes a lot of sense.
