Jill Aguilera’s late goal lifts Arizona soccer to big win at UC Irvine

Jill Aguilera scored in the 71st minute to lift Arizona soccer to a crucial 1-0 victory at UC Irvine on Thursday.

The victory serves as redemption for the Wildcats (1-1) after they were stunned by Albany in their opener last Friday.

Arizona dominated the second half of Thursday’s match, outshooting UC Irvine 10-4 in the period and 14-11 overall. The two teams battled to a scoreless tie last season and appeared headed for a similar fate Thursday before Aguilera’s heroics.

She roofed the keeper after a throw-in by Sabrina Enciso and a flick on by Kelcey Cavarra.
