OREM—Utah Valley University head women's soccer coach Chris Lemay has announced the addition of four Division I transfers for the Spring 2026 semester. Midfielder Londyn Lovell (Utah), defender Tess Livingston (Idaho State), forward Presley Ray (Weber State) and goalkeeper Lynette Bryant (BYU) have joined the Wolverines and will begin training with the program immediately.
"We set out to address some specific program needs in this transfer portal cycle. We feel like we have hit a home run," Lemay said. "Presley, Tess, Lynette, and Londyn are all quality players that have real experience and will make immediate impacts starting this spring. We aim to restock, not rebuild and we feel like we have again achieved that goal. We are coming off another successful fall, but we continue to strive for more and the current players along with the new arrivals are hungry."
