Arizona soccer handles Oklahoma in first major test of season

School is back in session, and Friday was exam day for Arizona soccer. They passed with flying colors.

Taking on a Power-5 team for the first time this season, the Wildcats handled Oklahoma 2-0 in Tucson, outshooting the Sooners 15-3 in a one-sided affair.

“If that’s our starting point and we can continue to get better, this team can do a lot,” said Arizona coach Tony Amato. “This was our first game against a Power-5 and our home opener and they came out and really had the energy from the beginning. I thought we had a really good balance of toughness and grit.
