After missing the NCAA Tournament for the first time in three years last season, the Arizona soccer team is determined to have a different fate in 2017.
So far, so good.
The Wildcats defeated No. 16 Oklahoma in Norman 2-0 on Friday in their season opener.
Arizona outshot Oklahoma 16-5 and had a 9-1 edge on shots on goal.
The game was scoreless until the 43rd minute, when a through ball by Amanda Porter found forward Jill Aguilera behind the defense, and was easily knocked past the Oklahoma keeper.
It was a nice moment for Aguilera, who was playing in her first career game after missing her entire freshman season with a torn ACL.
