The team has already defeated Santa Clara this season by a score of 2-1. They also went to double overtime against Stanford, falling 3-2.
It'll be an unprecedented weekend in Arizona soccer history. With the game starting at 6 PM MST, the end will go head-to-head with basketball, which starts at 7:30 PM against Pacific.
Good luck to the 'Cats and hopefully we'll be seeing them advance deep into the tournament!
