Hope College women's soccer standout Olivia Dieppa has been selected as the MIAA Senior Sportswoman of the Year, honoring her remarkable combination of athletic excellence, academic achievement, and community service.

Dieppa is the Flying Dutch's first recipient of the honor.

A team captain and four-year starter, Dieppa (Hudsonville, Michigan / Hudsonville) has consistently exemplified what it means to be a true student-athlete. Despite overcoming a major knee surgery early in her career, she became a two-time all-conference selection, Academic All-District honoree, and Defensive Player of the Week recipient.

The standout defender also led Hope in goals scored, showcasing her versatility and leadership on both ends of the pitch.

Off the field, Dieppa maintains a 3.96 GPA as an exercise science major and earned early acceptance into Grand Valley State University's Physical Therapy program.

Her commitment to service includes volunteering with Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital, going on a mission trip to Kenya to provide water filters, and serving as the student-athlete mental health representative within Hope's athletic department.

In addition to her research and teaching assistant roles, Dieppa has been a three-time MIAA Academic Honor Roll honoree and a leader in the Kinesiology Club and student panels.
