The Arizona women’s soccer team lost to Stanford in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday, and while the season has come to a close, it was arguably the best year in program history.
Here’s how it all unfolded.
The Wildcats opened the season with wins against Abilene Christian and Santa Clara. The win over Santa Clara, a perennial top team, quickly let the nation know Arizona had potential.
“Any time you start a new year and teams are unsure of the progress you’re making, a result like this will go a long way,” Arizona head coach Tony Amato said after that game.
