TUCSON, Ariz. – The HBU women's soccer team dropped a tough 6-0 decision to Pac-12 member Arizona on Sunday evening at Murphey Field at Mulcahey Soccer Stadium.
HBU (1-2-0) got an early look with senior
Sabriah Spencer putting a shot on goal in the ninth minute but Arizona's (2-1-0) keeper Lainey Burdett was up to the task with the save. 10 minutes later, the Wildcats got on the board with a Jada Talley goal which she chipped over the head of Husky keeper
Alanis Guevara. Talley added a second goal in the 37
th minute before Sabrina Enciso added a goal to put the Huskies down 3-0 at the half.
In the second period, HBU got its second look on goal during the early-going. Senior
Autumn Wildung's shot at the 51:33 mark was also stopped by Burdett to keep the Huskies off the board. Gabe Jillings added the Wildcats' fourth goal in the 66
th minute on a rebound off the post with Brooke Wilson and Michaela Rentner providing the final two goals of the match.
"The girls fought hard tonight against a very clinical Arizona team," said head coach
Misty Jones. "We held them for 30 minutes but once they scored it opened up the game a little more. This weekend was good because a lot of players got good minutes. Our freshmen got some good experience against a ranked team and I'm happy with the effort."
HBU returns to the lone star state for its next eight matches starting Friday, Aug. 31, with a trip up highway 290 to Prairie View, Texas to face Prairie View A&M at 7:00 p.m.
