LOGAN, Utah – Utah State head volleyball coach Rob Neilson announced the signing of Olivia Tukuafu (Mesa, Arizona/Omaha) on Friday.
 
"Olivia is a great addition to our Aggie roster," Neilson said. "She quarterbacked an outstanding offense at Omaha, winning a conference championship and competing in the NCAA Tournament. She brings great experience to Logan and will be a great addition to our culture. We can't wait to start training with Liv."
 
Tukuafu, a 6-foot setter, joins the Aggies after spending the previous season at Omaha. During her freshman campaign, Tukuafu appeared in 20 matches, making nine starts, and finished second on the Maverick squad with 386 assists, averaging a team-best 5.51 per set. She also logged 87 digs, 18 service aces, five kills and three total blocks during the campaign.
 
The incoming sophomore logged double-digit assists in 16 matches, including a career-best 30 twice. She also had five or more digs in 10 matches, logging a career-best nine against Kansas City in the Summit League championship match on Nov. 21.
