I sat in my car in a faraway parking spot near Plumer Avenue and 15th Street on Friday evening, reviewing a few items scribbled on a notepad.
• Arizona’s star soccer player, Gabi Stoian, wears jersey No. 9; I was eager to watch her play in a Territorial Cup series game.
• ASU went 0-7-1 during a midseason stretch.
• A payback angle: The Wildcats were 3-16-1 against ASU soccer teams, 2-8 in Tucson.
• Mulcahy Stadium seats about 900; the UA expected almost 1,300 for Senior Night, creating a standing-room-only area.
• An Arizona victory would enable Tony Amato’s team to finish third in the Pac-12, setting up an unprecedented NCAA tournament game at Mulcahy Stadium.
