After a 99-minute battle against a pesky Arizona Wildcats team, Alex Anthony had a golden opportunity to lift the No. 6 USC Trojans to victory.
USC had earned a penalty kick in overtime, and the redshirt senior was called on to take the potential game-winner.
But she missed. The score remained 0-0.
Anthony’s shot sailed over the crossbar, and she immediately put her hands over her face in disbelief.
The Wildcats had new life.
“That meant the game was going for us,” said UA forward Cali Crisler.
