Penn State roars back to end Arizona soccer’s season in second round of NCAA Tournament

PALO ALTO, Calif. — More second-round heartbreak.

Frankie Tagliaferri scored in the 97th minute to lift No. 4 Penn State to a 4-3 win over Arizona soccer, ending the Wildcats’ season in the Round of 32 for the third straight season.

Arizona held leads of 2-0 and 3-2, but Penn State roared back both times. Sam Coffey snuck a shot inside the far post to level the game in the 88th minute and force overtime.

Arizona finishes the season with a 12-6-1 record, the fourth-most wins in program history.

A pair of unlikely heroes gave them a two-goal lead early in the second half when Grace Santos and Iyana Zimmerman scored their first goals of the season in the 38th and 50th minutes, respectively.
