Like a flock of geese, Arizona hopes to ‘stay in formation and keep sailing’ through the season

The series win at ASU was a turning point in Arizona’s season, and you can credit a flock of geese for helping the Wildcats get back on track.

Before they won two of three in Tempe last weekend to snap a six-game Pac-12 losing streak, UA head coach Mike Candrea handed his players a story to read during practice.

It was about geese and how they fly together in a V formation. It seemed bizarre.

“At first we were laughing, like what the heck is this about?” recalled left fielder Carli Campbell.

The message Candrea was trying to convey is its easier to achieve a common goal when everyone is working together in unison.
