TEMPE, Ariz. — The Arizona Wildcats had trouble scoring goals early in the season. Now they are coming in bunches.
The Wildcats (3-1) routed Southeast Missouri State 5-0 on a scorching Friday afternoon for their third straight win. Arizona has now scored 10 times in their last two games after mustering one goal in their first two matches.
What’s changed? They are stomping their opponents’ confidence early.
“Scoring early in the last couple games makes all the difference,” said Arizona head coach Tony Amato. “You gotta get that first goal in games like this or it’s a dog fight.
