Arizona soccer has two major obstacles to overcome as the team travels to Tempe for the Sun Devil Classic. One of them is beyond their control. The other must be defeated if the Wildcats hope to reach their goals this season.
The heat is something that Arizona should be used to, but it has been excessively hot even for the state of Arizona this week. On Wednesday, the temperatures in Tempe were not expected to drop below 100 degrees until after 9 p.m. MST. On Thursday, the forecast for kick-off at 1 p.m. MST is 103 degrees with a “real feel” of 107.
