Olivia Moultrie edits
Moultrie was born in Utah to K.C. and Jessica Moultrie, who both competed in college athletics, and was raised in the Canyon Country district of Santa Clarita, California.

At 11, she accepted a full scholarship offer to play soccer for the Tar Heels of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill when she reached college age (from the 2024 season), becoming the youngest girls' soccer player to publicly accept a college offer at the time. Shortly after, she traveled to Europe to train. Her family began planning a move to Lyon, France, so she could begin playing professionally as soon as possible; however, these plans were abandoned when the Portland Thorns FC signed her in 2019. She moved from California to Wilsonville, Oregon where she now resides.

On February 13, 2024, Moultrie agreed to a three-year contract extension, lasting through the 2026 season.

She earned her first start and recorded her first two goals on February 20, 2024 against the Dominican Republic in a group stage match of the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup becoming the third US women's soccer player to score two or more goals in a game at age 18 or younger after Mia Hamm and Cindy Parlow Cone. She also earned player of the match.
