As Arizona soccer heads into its Pac-12 home opener against Stanford, it's a sure thing that the Cardinal will see a lot of new faces on the pitch for the Wildcats. So far this season, 16 players have made at least one start for Arizona. Nine of those players are either new to the program or played in less than half of the approximately 1630 minutes of play the team contested last season.
Those players are spread across classes, but the bulk of them are freshmen and sophomores. There are only 10 upperclassmen on the Arizona roster compared to nine freshmen and 10 sophomores.
