Arizona head coach Becca Moros often talks about how possession style is the prettiest form of soccer. It is definitely pretty, but it has its risks. Those risks cost the Wildcats dearly in a 2-0 loss at California on Thursday afternoon.
The Wildcats spent much of the game dominating possession in its attacking third of the pitch. In the second half, two times it didn’t do so ended with Cal’s Ari Manrique finding the back of the net.
In the 53rd minute, senior defender Sarah Rice was dribbling the ball in front of the box.
