Arizona and Oregon State soccer teams both entered Sunday’s match with something important on the line. For the Wildcats, the goal was to get their first Pac-12 win. For the Beavers, it was to continue a surprise season and end an eight-game losing streak against Arizona.
Both teams are under new leadership with Arizona’s Becca Moros and Oregon State’s Lauren Sinacola getting their jobs in July. The initial change had its challenges for both teams, especially when it came to personnel.
Both coaches lost one of the team’s top goal-scorers to a Pac-12 rival.
