TEMPE—The superstitions didn’t work. Arizona soccer players spent all week refusing to use forks, but they weren’t able to stop Arizona State on Friday evening. The Sun Devils ended a seven-year drought by defeating the Wildcats 3-2. In the process, they also ended Arizona’s five-game unbeaten streak and put its NCAA Tournament hopes in jeopardy.

ASU got the scoring started with a goal by Keri Matthews off an assist from Olivia Nguyen in the 24th minute, but UA struck back on a Sun Devil own goal in the 43rd minute when Megan Chelf played it into the box and ASU’s Nicole Douglas headed it into the net while trying to clear it.
