The Arizona Wildcats are entering Friday’s NCAA Tournament opener against Denver on a high note.
They have won four of their last five matches, including a heated rivalry game at Arizona State, and their chemistry is bubbling.
“It was also good the other years, but this year it’s a little different,” said senior goalkeeper Lainey Burdett, who is making her third trip to the postseason. “I think we’re all on the same page and wanting the same thing in the end.”
Why is their rapport different this year? Winning helps everything, of course, and the Wildcats have done a lot of that.
