Arizona soccer drops out of Top 25, but rises in RPI ahead of Utah trip

The Arizona soccer team had a short stay in the polls.

Ranked 25th last week, the Wildcats dropped out of the Top 25 this week after splittng on its road trip against the Washington schools.

Kelcey Cavarra scored late Thursday to lead the Wildcats past then-No. 15 Washington State in Pullman, but they blew a late lead Sunday in a 3-2 double-overtime loss to Washington, preventing UA from capturing its first-ever Pac-12 road sweep.

The better, and more important, news is that the Wildcats continue to climb in RPI, the metric used by the selection committee to determine the NCAA Tournament field.
