BELLINGHAM, Wash. – Western Washington University senior forward Olivia Hodges has been selected as a consensus NCAA Division II All-American earning a pair of postseason awards for her standout 2025-26 season.
 
Hodges (Pasadena, CA) was a third-team selection from the Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) as voted on by College Sports Communicators and an honorable mention award winner from the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA). Hodges joins Brooke Walling (2022-23 & 2023-24) as the most recent Vikings to earn All-America honors.
 
Hodges is part of an elite group of Vikings to earn All-America honors from the WBCA, joining Walling (HM, 2023 & 2024), Emma Duff (HM, 2022), Anna Schwecke (HM, 2020), Taylor Peacocke (1st Team, 2017), Amanda Dunbar (HM, 2010 & 2011), Jessica Summers (HM, 2011), Mollie Stelmack (HM, 2007), Tina Donahue (HM, 2005 & 2006), Stacey Miller (HM, 2003) and Celeste Hill (1st Team, 2000). Hodges joins Peacocke (2nd team, 2017) and Britt Harris (3rd team, 2013) as the only Vikings to earn All-America honors from the D2CCA.
 
"It is very tough to achieve All-America honors, especially from both organizations, and Olivia earned every bit of it with a fantastic senior season," said WWU head coach Carmen Dolfo. "As wonderful as she was on the court with her rebounding, scoring and tenacity, she was even more impressive as a teammate and a joy to coach. What an incredible season to record 25 double-doubles and average over 15 points and 13 rebounds. We are so proud of Liv and so happy she chose to become a Viking when she transferred into our program."
 
The Cal State LA transfer had a historic 2025-26 season averaging 15.8 points and 13.3 rebounds per game, while setting the WWU single-season record with 25 double-doubles. She was a unanimous First Team All-GNAC selection, All-West Region First Team, GNAC Newcomer of the Year and selected to the NCAA Championships West Regional All-Tournament Team.
 
The Vikings completed the season with a 25-8 overall record advancing to the West Regional semifinal round entering the NCAA postseason as the No. 2 seed in the West. WWU won the GNAC regular-season title with a 15-3 conference record.
