The Arizona soccer team is looking forward to finally getting to face another squad as they head to Malibu to play Pepperdine. One player who was expected to be an important part of the team won’t take the pitch, though. Fifth-year defender Mariah Dunn recently suffered an injury and will miss her final year of college soccer.

“I did recently tear my ACL, so I won’t be in consideration for the back line this season,” Dunn said. “But I think they’re looking at one of the freshmen, Aranda [Hurge], to step in to fill my role, and I think that so far, she’s done a really good job of emerging and being able to do what she needs to do to stand out.
