Olivia "Libby" Taylor Smith '98 was an original member of the new era of LeTourneau women's basketball and helped the program to two NCCAA national championships.

Smith was an NCCAA All-America second team selection in 1997-98 and earned two All-Big State Conference honors during her four years. Her play helped the YellowJackets capture the 1997 and 1998 NCCAA national championships.

In the 1997-98 season in which she earned All-America accolades, Smith averaged a career-best 14.0 points with 6.6 rebounds per game and 78 total steals. Her 62 made 3-pointers set a then-program record. She earned All-Big State honors and was NCCAA All-Region.

One of the best 3-pointer shooters in program history, Smith still holds the program's career record for 3-point percentage at 41.8 (151-for-361) and held the record for career 3-pointers made at 151. She still holds the top three season records for 3-point percentage, with her best season coming in 1995-96 when she connected on 42.9 percent from deep.

Smith ended her career with 1,331 points, 789 rebounds, 275 assists, and 214 steals across 111 games.
