For the second straight year, Arizona soccer dropped a heartbreaker to California. Last year, it was in the 96th minute. This season, in a year when regular-season overtime no longer exists, it was the 86th minute.
“We missed a tackle out on the flank and opportunity to either clear the ball out or to possess it, one or the other,” said head coach Becca Moros. “And because of it, they got in behind. Just smashed one on the near post.”
It marked Arizona’s third straight loss, all to Pac-12 teams. The Wildcats are still searching for their first conference victory.
