When Becca Moros was playing and coaching in the NWSL, her teams typically had four and a half weeks to prepare for their first game.
Now that she’s the head coach of the Arizona Wildcats, she’s being reminded of how unique college soccer is—and not in a good way. UA will unofficially open the Moros era on Tuesday with an exhibition at San Diego State, a measly six days after their first practice.
Arizona’s first “real” game is not too far off from that—an Aug. 20 road match against the WAC champion Utah Valley Wolverines.
