Arizona soccer’s newcomers ‘hit the ground running’, hope to make an impact in 2019

Freshman forward Sophie Jones committed to the Arizona Wildcats in her sophomore year of high school, so joining the team this July felt like a dream come true.

“I’ve been waiting all these years to play here,” she said. “And finally being here is just an amazing feeling.”

Now, the work begins. After a month of fitness testing, the Wildcats opened fall camp this week, which Jones said featured “a lot of adrenaline and intensity.”

“It’s definitely different from our club style of play,” she said. “It’s go, go, go. It’s definitely been fun getting to know the girls and just getting to word hard and get ready for the season.
