FAYETTEVILLE — Vailana Tu’ua has been at the front of the Arkansas soccer team’s attack this season.
The freshman striker has stepped into big moments. She has embraced them.
She entered the NCAA Tournament tied for a team-high 5 goals while having 3 assists to her name. Tu’ua bagged the winners against Texas A&M and Alabama.
She added a third winning goal to her resume in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday. She calmly settled Natalie Wagner’s pass atop the Dartmouth box in the 61st minute to give the Razorbacks a 1-0 victory.
