The Arizona Wildcats hadn’t defeated a Top 10 team since Oct. 3, 2019, when they beat UCLA soccer in Tucson. They hoped to put an end to a streak of three straight losses to teams ranked in the United Soccer Coaches Top 10 by defeating No. 10 Pepperdine on Sunday afternoon.
It was not to be as the Waves finally broke through in the second half to take a 2-0 victory. It dropped Arizona to 2-2-2 overall this season. The Wildcats also dropped to 3-40-2 against Top 10 teams in program history.
“Anytime you lose, it kind of makes you feel down and it’s discouraging and makes you feel like maybe there’s more, you need to do things differently,” Arizona head coach Becca Moros said.
