Arizona soccer to participate in Sun Devil Desert Classic this weekend

Three games have provided three different results for the Arizona women’s soccer team to begin the 2016 season.

The Wildcats lost their season-opener 3-1 to Pepperdine on the road, then beat Utah Valley 5-1 in Tucson, then tied 2-2 against No. 16 Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas.

Something will have to give when the Wildcats head to Tempe this weekend for two games in the Sun Devil Desert Classic.

The Denver Pioneers are Arizona's first opponent of the weekend.

“They’re a team that likes to get their outside backs forward and wants to possess the ball,” Arizona head coach Tony Amato said.
