With the changes on the back line since last season, Arizona soccer head coach Becca Moros knew it might take a little while for everything to come together on defense. In their exhibition at Pepperdine, that turned out to be the case.
“We got stressed in the back line,” Moros said. “Gave up two medium-to-soft set-piece goals, which is something we’ve been really focused on, and sometimes breaking down is the best way to learn and kind of prove a point. So, I think that those were really great learning opportunities for us and things that we can definitely get better at in a short period of time.
