Arizona soccer didn’t really send its eight seniors out on a high note since they have five matches left. It did make their senior night one to remember with a 2-1 victory over BYU at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium. Two days ago, Wildcats head coach said the team needed to have more minutes of good defense and more minutes of effective attacking if they hoped to beat the Cougars.
She wasn’t prepared to say they had more such minutes after Friday’s match, but she knew one thing. “In the critical ones, we did,” Moros said. “We put it in the net, so I think I’ll just count on those.
” While it was a night for the seniors, the freshmen and juniors stepped up to give them their biggest win of the season. Freshman forward got the start because of an injury to senior . Fults rose to the occasion.
She has made impressive runs all season. They have resulted in two assists and some shots that didn’t go. This time it paid off with the first goal of her career to put Arizona up 1-0 in the 13th minute.
“Finally!” Fults said. “Yeah, I’m just happy.” She wasn’t the only one who was happy.
“I was really happy for Narissa, that she broke through,” Moros said. “We’ve been waiting for that. She’s a tremendous force and has a lot of potential, so I thought it was nice.
