Arizona Wildcats' goalkeeper Olivia Ramey, formerly of Oklahoma, joins the team as a potential replacement for the departing Hope Hisey. Ramey, a 5-foot-9 sophomore, has recorded seven shutouts and a save percentage of 0.696 in two years of NCAA soccer. She was a three-star recruit and played for Frisco Memorial High School and FC Dallas 04G ECNL. Arizona's roster has also seen the addition of Rikako Hayami, a junior college transfer who received All-American honors in 2023, and the surprise inclusion of defender Sarah Rice, providing experience and depth in a previously weak area for the team. Additionally, the team has only one other goalkeeper, Ciara Ulreich-Power, after the departure of Hope Hisey and other changes in the roster.

By the Numbers
  • Ramey has seven shutouts in two years of NCAA soccer.
  • Ramey saved 71 of the 102 attempts she has faced in her career for a save percentage of 0.696.
  • Hayami started all 32 games she appeared in at Arizona Western and has two years of eligibility remaining.
  • Rice played in 59 games during her first four seasons, starting 42 times and averaging 66.6 minutes per appearance.
State of Play
  • Arizona Wildcats are integrating new players into the roster, including Olivia Ramey and Rikako Hayami, to strengthen the team for the upcoming 2024 season.
  • The departure of several players, including Hope Hisey and Hannah Mitchell, has left the team with limited goalkeeping options and a need for defensive reinforcement.
Bottom Line

Arizona Wildcats' soccer strengthens its roster with the addition of goalkeeper Olivia Ramey and other key players, preparing for the challenges of the upcoming season after significant changes in the roster.
