Kelcey Cavarra wanted to be more of a scoring threat in her senior season.
It took her a while to notch her first goal, but it couldn’t have come at a bigger moment. The midfielder scored in the 81st minute to lead No. 25 Arizona to a 1-0 win over No. 15 Washington State on Thursday in Pullman.
Cavarra collected a corner kick from Hallie Pearson inside the penalty box and fired a shot inside the far post to give the Wildcats their first win over a ranked team this season.
None of it would have been possible without a stellar performance by goalkeeper Hope Hisey and some headsy plays by Arizona’s backline.
