8/18/2026 1:39:00 PM

OREM, Utah — Utah Valley University women's soccer head coach Chris Lemay has announced the additions of Addie Olson, Isa Agrusso and Lilliana Dushaj to the Wolverines' 2026 roster. All three have signed with Utah Valley and joined the program for the 2026 season.

Olson comes to Utah Valley after playing two seasons at BYU, while Agrusso brings four seasons of Power Four experience from Iowa State and Michigan State. Dushaj joins the Wolverines as a freshman forward out of Michigan.

ADDIE OLSON

Olson joins the Wolverines after appearing in 39 career matches with 21 starts over two playing seasons at BYU. She totaled three goals and four assists for 10 points while logging 1,656 minutes with the Cougars.

Olson has already made an impact at Utah Valley, scoring the Wolverines' lone goal through the first two matches of the 2026 season. She found the back of the net in the 33rd minute of UVU's season-opening 1-1 draw against Michigan at UCCU Stadium.

The American Fork, Utah, native started all 21 matches during the 2024 season at BYU, recording one goal and three assists while taking 29 shots, including 11 shots on goal. She scored against Long Beach State and earned Fall Academic All-Big 12 First Team honors. Olson also appeared in 18 matches as a freshman in 2021, recording two goals and one assist. She scored her first collegiate goal against Marquette on Sept. 2, 2021, and received a medical redshirt during the 2025 season.

"Addie is competitive, she holds herself to a high standard and expects her teammates to show up that committed as well," Lemay said. "Addie is dangerous in behind and will provide great service as well as threatening herself. Addie has played at the highest level and impacted on the national stage. Her experience will most certainly be immediately valuable to our team."

Prior to BYU, Olson was a standout at American Fork High School, where she helped the Cavemen win Utah 6A state championships in 2017 and 2019, including a 2017 team that finished the season ranked No. 6 nationally. She also helped American Fork advance to the 2020 Utah 6A state championship match.

Olson earned first team all-state honors in 2019 after receiving second team recognition in 2017. She was a two-time first team all-region selection and twice earned Academic All-State honors. Olson also competed for Celtic Soccer Club and United Soccer Association and was selected to the Olympic Development Program Top 18 traveling team.

ISA AGRUSSO

Agrusso arrives in Orem with extensive collegiate experience after spending the past three seasons at Iowa State following her freshman campaign at Michigan State.

The defender has appeared in 54 career matches with 34 starts, logging 3,293 minutes and recording two goals and three assists for seven points. Agrusso played in 49 matches with 34 starts during her three seasons at Iowa State, including starting all 17 matches and logging more than 1,400 minutes during the 2024 season.

Agrusso started 14 matches in 2025 before suffering a late-season injury. Agrusso scored the game-winning goal in the 89th minute at Creighton to secure the 200th victory in Iowa State program history and finished the season with career highs of two assists and four points.

"Isa has the ability to get up and down, she is a wide back that is dangerous going forward," Lemay said. "Isa is a big-minute Power Four starter that has bite and bravery. She will impact our program immediately. Isa desires to play professionally after this fall and has all the tools to realize that goal."

Agrusso earned Academic All-Big 12 honors in 2024 and 2025 and was a five-time Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll selection. She also appeared in five matches during her freshman season at Michigan State.

At the club level, Agrusso played for Nationals and helped the club capture the 2021 Girls Academy National Championship. She was selected to the Best XII at the 2021 Florida Showcase and was named a TopDrawerSoccer weekend standout three times at national events. Agrusso also participated in the Olympic Development Program and earned a spot on the state team.

LILLIANA DUSHAJ

Dushaj joins Utah Valley as a freshman forward from Michigan. She attended Michigan International Prep School and competed at the club level for Nationals.

"Lilliana is a special forward with a unique ability to find goals," Lemay said. "She is athletic, technical and composed. I feel like Lilliana has the ability to change games on a consistent basis and cause backlines all sorts of problems. She is tough and just the right amount of edgy."

A native of Michigan, Dushaj was born in Royal Oak and played forward throughout her prep and club career.

Utah Valley is 0-1-1 through its first two matches after opening the season with a 1-1 draw against Michigan before falling to Utah on Monday night. The Wolverines will return to action on Monday, Aug. 24, against in-state rival Utah State. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m.
