UCLA soccer has been dominant this season. Coming into the match against the Arizona Wildcats, the third-ranked Bruins had only given up one goal all year. Could a 3-5 Arizona team that had been outscored 14-9 hope to stay with them?
The answer to that question was a resounding ‘yes.’ The Arizona players believed that they could play with anyone—and they proved it. It just wasn’t quite enough as UCLA escaped with a 2-1 victory.
“Teams that are very good teams, that are considered the best teams in this country, they have to get lucky to beat us,” said Arizona goalkeeper Hope Hisey.
