Bates Bobcast Episode 192: Catching up with volleyball star and WBB All-American Olivia Zurek '05

Olivia Zurek was a star for the Bobcats on the Alumni Gym court in both volleyball and basketball during her time in Lewiston. In volleyball, she helped lead the Bobcats to three 20-win seasons, including a 26-9 overall record in 2003, culminating in a run to the NESCAC tournament championship match. After earning second team All-NESCAC recognition in 2003, Zurek led the conference in kills per set as a senior, receiving first team All-NESCAC honors. On the basketball court, Zurek was even better, earning All-NESCAC honors three times, culminating in a senior season that saw Bates advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament and Zurek earn first team All-American honors. The third-leading scorer and second-leading rebounder in Bates women’s basketball history, Zurek is now a Geriatric Psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital. Today, she joins the Bobcast to look back on her time as a Bobcat.
