The Arizona Wildcats soccer team returns to the pitch Friday when they’ll face No. 24 UCF at in Tempe in the Sun Devil Desert Classic.

The Knights (2-1) are coming off a stunning upset of No. 4 North Carolina, and Arizona head coach Tony Amato couldn’t be happier — and not because he earned a master’s degree from UCF in 2003.

“We need our opponents to win as many games as we can and then we need to beat them. That’s how you get a good RPI and a good strength of schedule, a good winning percentage to make the NCAA Tournament,” he said.
