Roadrunners Welcome New Faces
The University of Texas at San Antonio’s soccer program is gearing up for the 2026 campaign, bringing in a fresh cohort of five athletes who promise to reshape the roster.
Among the newcomers are two forwards, two midfielders and a goalkeeper, each recruited from distinct corners of the country: California, Colorado and Texas provide the geographic spread that adds depth and versatility.
Olivia D’Ambrosia, a midfielder from Lone Tree, Colorado, joins after a standout high school career, while Shea Ryan, a forward from Roseville, California, brings SEC and Big 12 experience that should translate into immediate impact. Sadie Paul, a forward from Fort Worth, Texas, arrives with a multisport background that underscores her athleticism, and Sabrina Taber, also a midfielder from San Antonio, Texas, carries a celebrated high school résumé. Completing the group, Kylie Kissee, a goalkeeper from San Antonio, Texas, offers a blend of academic rigor and athletic promise.
Head coach Derek Pittman has voiced enthusiasm about the group’s character and athleticism, noting that their potential to strengthen the squad extends beyond raw talent.
Fall camp is slated to begin in mid‑July, setting the stage for an exhibition matchup against Texas on August 5 before the regular season opens with a home game against Texas State on August 12. Both matches will serve as early gauges of the team’s chemistry.
Season tickets and single‑game tickets are now on sale, giving fans the opportunity to follow the Roadrunners as they embark on a promising new chapter.
