The Arizona Wildcats’ high-press brand of soccer requires a certain class of player to be effective. They have to be fit, tough, and willing and able to cover lots and lots of ground.
“And we find that players either adapt to that and really excel at it, or it doesn’t work,” said UA coach Tony Amato. “So we feel like having the right mentality and having a fit, hard-working player goes a long way for us.”
Junior midfielder Kelcey Cavarra fits that description to a tee, hence why she has been such a critical player for the Wildcats the past three seasons, even though she has only scored three goals.
