Ava McCray and Grace Santos refer to themselves as twins. Sure, they aren’t sisters or even lifelong friends—heck, they just met last month—but they have some striking similarities.
Both are sophomores, both were named to their conference’s all-freshman team last season, and both transferred to Arizona this summer with the same goal in mind.
“I just wanted a higher level of soccer and a team who wanted it,” said McCray, previously at Cal Poly.
“Same thing for me,” added Santos, formerly at William & Mary. “I was looking for a different level of competition, and I think Arizona definitely offers that different level of competition each day in training, a different level of games, and the Pac-12 is really exciting.
