Among the many differences Becca Moros sees between college and professional soccer is student-athletes having to push through two games in one weekend. The condensed schedule reduces travel expenses, sure, but is costly in other ways.
“More one-game weeks would be better for all the teams,” the Arizona head coach said. “For the health, for the ability to train your team and keep everybody fit and competitive, and to, you know, make for better overall performances.”
The Wildcats (1-1) have been lucky so far, playing four games, including two exhibitions, in four weeks. Things will ramp up significantly this weekend in Tempe when they face No.
