Arizona soccer can take next step with win over Penn State in NCAA Tournament

PALO ALTO, Calif. — Northern California is Wildcat territory.

When Arizona soccer faces No. 4 seed Penn State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday, it will mark UA’s fifth game—and third road trip—to the Bay Area this season.

The Wildcats visited Santa Clara and San Jose State in September and returned a month later to battle Cal and Stanford.

“We’ll be in a different hotel (this time), but everything else will be the same,” said Arizona coach Tony Amato.

That means breakfast at Bill’s Cafe before Friday’s match—”their fresh-squeezed orange juice is amazing,” said forward Brooke Wilson—and dinner at Tender Greens afterwards.
