We will be profiling Arizona soccer’s returning players before they return to campus in July. Next up: junior Ava McCray.
Ava McCray could have stayed at Cal Poly and been a four-year starter and one of the best players in the Big West. The Northern California native made the conference’s All-Freshman Team after a decorated career at Davis Senior High School, where she won three straight division championships from 2016 to 2018.
But McCray wanted more, to see how she’d stack up against the top players in the top conference. That meant transferring to Arizona where she’d have to start from scratch in the Pac-12.
