Arizona soccer’s regular season opener vs. Long Beach State was canceled Thursday after unrelenting lightning in the area.
Kickoff in Tucson was originally scheduled for 6:30 p.m. MST, and the teams waited at Mulcahy Stadium until 9 p.m. before calling the match.
The teams will try to reschedule the game at a later date, but it will not be taking place Friday since LBSU has to get back to Southern California to face UCLA on Sunday.
That means Arizona will open its season next Friday against Weber State at, wait for it, Sun Devil Soccer Stadium as part of the annual Sun Devil Desert Classic.
