by Liam Kilcommons

ORLANDO – In the midst of 2026 postseason play, the UCF women’s soccer team has already made big plans for the future of the program. Today, six outstanding players have made their commitments to the Black and Gold official.

Forward/midfielder Juliette Azizi, defender Lulu Consunji, midfielder Addison Devine, forward Sidney Heavey, midfielder/forward Josie Holland, and defender Jillian Mills have all put pen to paper, becoming the first members of the Knights’ 2027 signing class.

“We’re really excited to welcome these six young women to our UCF family. They come from different parts of the country, but what they all share is strong character, a competitive mindset, and a genuine passion for the game. They’re talented players who want to be challenged, are eager to learn, and have a real desire to continue growing and developing. Most importantly, they understand what it means to be a Knight and are excited to help us compete for Big 12 championships and continue raising the standard of UCF Women’s Soccer. We believe this group will make a great impact on our program, both on the field and within our team culture.”

Hailing all the way from Rose City, Azizi comes to Orlando as an electrifying addition to the squad. Described as one of the fastest players in Oregon high school soccer by her coach Kendall Johnson, she has the ability to routinely leave opponents in the dust and create scoring opportunities from as far as 30 yards out.

“I chose UCF for the overwhelming sense of community within the team,” Azizi said. “Right when I stepped foot on campus, I knew that this was the place I wanted to spend my next four years. I am so excited to be a part of this program and team.”

Azizi joins the Black and Gold with plenty of recognition, as well. The winger was most recently named the Top Forwards Prospect in the state of Oregon, in addition to earning Second Team All-League honors after leading her squad to a 13-4-1 overall record. Juliette also achieved First Team honors her junior year and was an Honorable Mention her sophomore year, after leading her team in scoring.

In addition to her high school career, Azizi has played club soccer for the Portland Thorns Academy since 2024, while also suiting up for the Portland Thorns of the WPSL. Off the field, Azizi played tennis at Lincoln, while also serving as a member of the Black Student Union and Key Club.

Lulu Consunji

Consunji joins the Knights as the number two ranked high school defender in Florida, bringing a long list of accolades and championship pedigree to UCF’s defensive unit.

During her decorated high school career, Consunji won two state championships in her freshman and sophomore years at Ponte Vedra High School, one of the top high school girl’s soccer teams in the country. In addition to taking home two state titles, the defender was named Freshman of the Year in her debut season. Consunji also earned Defensive Player of the Year honors in her sophomore year, team MVP her junior season, and was named varsity captain for her senior campaign.

The accolades don’t stop when you look off the field, as well. Consunji is a member of the National Honor Society at Ponte Vedra, while also being an Honor Roll student.

During her time there, she has been named to the ECNL U18/19 Southeast All-Conference Team in 2026, the U17 Southeast All-Conference Team in 2025, while also traveling to England to take on Premier League Youth Academy teams (Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Everton, and London City).

As a great athlete with excellent skills as a defender, Consunji brings a lot to the UCF backfield. “I chose UCF because of its competitive soccer program, amazing coaching staff, and great team culture,” Consunji said on joining the Black and Gold. “I also really like how it’s a big school and close to home. I think that UCF will provide me with opportunities to grow as a person, student, and player.”

Addison Devine

Going from the Sunflower State to the Sunshine State, Devine brings both experience and dedication to the UCF women’s soccer program.

“I chose UCF because of the incredible coaching staff, competitive environment, and family-like culture,” Devine said. “Coach Tiff reminded me how special it is that we get to play the sport we love. I knew UCF was somewhere I could grow both as a player and a person, and I couldn’t be more excited to be a Knight.”

Devine played club soccer with Kansas City Athletics, the same group that 2026 UCF commit Haley Cramer suited up for. During Devine’s time with KC Athletics, she helped lead them to the 2025 and 2024 ECNL National Championship Final, finishing as one of the top teams in the nation in both years.

Off the pitch, Devine is an Honor Roll student and worked with Future is Female Inc., a non-profit that fights for female empowerment and gender equality. She is also set to graduate early in December 2026, so she can begin time with the Knights in January 2027. Her dad, Dave, was also a two-time NCAA Division III All-American.

Saydie suited up for Ole Miss and Liberty, earning All-Conference First Team (CUSA) and 2022 All-Conference Second Team (ASUN) honors, while Ella played for Northern Kentucky University.

Jillian Mills

Defender / Portage, Mich. / Midwest United FC / Portage Central HS / Business

Last but certainly not least, Mills joins the Knights in the midst of a fantastic scholastic and prep career in the Great Lakes state. A defender with quick reactions, Mills gives UCF another young defensive weapon on the backline.

With still her senior season to go in the spring, Mills has played three years for the Mustangs at Portage Central High School, serving as a junior captain this past season. She received All-District, All-Region, First Team All-State honors thanks to her stellar junior campaign.

Also playing club ball for Midwest United FC, Mills was named as a GA Player to Watch during her time there. Off the field, Mills received a GPA Gold Award all four years, while also accumulating over 180 service hours, proving to be an outstanding student both in and out of the classroom.

“I chose UCF because I think it offers an amazing opportunity to grow both as a soccer player and as a person. UCF has an incredible coaching staff, a competitive soccer program, and high expectations both athletically and academically,” Mills said. “I'm excited to be pushed to become the best version of myself, compete at a high level, and be around people who challenge and encourage me. I also love the opportunity to experience a new environment, meet new people, and be part of such a great university.”
