ODESSA, Texas (August 13, 2025) – In addition to the native Texans arriving to campus this Fall, The University of Texas Permian Basin Head Women's Soccer Coach Garrett Kull and his staff wanted to make an impression in the region by focusing on committing players from the Southwest. The result being the Falcons adding multiple players from New Mexico and Arizona.

Coach Kull spoke to the process of adding these commits, saying, "The out-of-state process is quite different because of the different hurdles a staff can face in the recruitment process. You have to understand the area you are recruiting, which can be difficult from a far, and make sure you have the right community to support players that are farther away from home."

The 2025 out-of-state commits for the Falcons are:
 
Haylee Huttenhow – Fr. – Surprise, Ariz.
From Paradise High School, Huttenhow comes to UTPB after captaining her team to three regional championships. During her career she was named a two-time Region Player of the Year, a four-time First-Team All-Region, and was All-Academic every year. Huttenhow was also a member of the Phoenix Rising ECRL team and was a consistent captain for her club teams.
 
Jayden Murgia – Fr. – Surprise, Ariz.
The Arizonan from Paradise High School played a vital role in her team's three region championships before her commitment to the Falcons. Muriga was a three-time First-Team All-Region honoree, a four-time All-Academic awardee, and was named a team captain. Murgia was selected to the ODP Regional Camp in 2023 and was also a member of the Phoenix Rising ECRL team.
 
Mariela Ojeda – Fr. – Albuquerque, N.M.
Better known as "Mo", the Albuquerque, New Mexico, native most recently played for the Rio Rapids SC Girls Academy team before joining the Falcons.

While at Sandia, she also ran track and played basketball, in which she won a state championship this past season.
