ON THE PITCH

• Jada Talley was named Pac-12 Offensive player of the week on Tuesday for her stellar performance against Oregon and Oregon State this past week. This is Talley's first Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week honor and she is the first Wildcat to receive a Pac-12 Player of the Week honor this season.

• Jada Talley scored four goals this weekend, giving her three two-goal games on the season. All of the braces came against Pac-12 teams, one of which was No. 10 UCLA.

• Arizona came away from the weekend with an undefeated home stand against Oregon (5-2) and Oregon State (2-1).

• For the first time since 2013, three Arizona Wildcats have scored five or more goals in one season. Jada Talley leads with nine, while Brooke Wilson and Jill Aguilera come up behind her with six each.

• For the first time in program history, the Wildcats have won at least 10 games in three-straight seasons

• Goalkeeper Hope Hisey has now played in every Arizona Pac-12 Conference game of the season, making 36 saves in eight matches. She added seven to her list this past week, aiding in Arizona's weekend sweep.

• For the first time in school history, the women's soccer team has beaten two top-15 teams in one season after knocking off No. 10 UCLA on Oct. 3 and No. 15 Washington State on Oct. 10.

Last Time Out
Arizona came away with a 3-0 defeat in a devastating match against Cal on Thursday. Despite outshooting the Bears 19-7 they couldn't seem to make any big moves to win the match.

How May We Assist You
Forward Jada Talley is at the top of her game, lending seven assists and nine goals within the first 15 games of the season. She earned two braces against Oregon and Oregon State giving her three on the season. Talley has scored 17 career goals and has 10 career assists, putting her in an excellent position to break school records.

We "Hope" You're Ready
Freshman Keeper Hope Hisey has been a crucial asset for the Wildcats in the 2019 season. She has played in 13 of Arizona's 16 matches, with nine being every Pac-12 Conference game of the season. She has contributed to five of the Cats eight clean sheets, with two being against nationally ranked teams (UCLA & WSU), and has recorded a whopping 44 saves in her first career season.

Reaching Our Goals
Forward Brooke Wilson has stepped up this season in the goal department. Wilson has surpassed her career high of three goals set in 2018 by scoring six goals in 15 matches this season. She added another to her count with a rocket shot from almost 40 yards away against UCLA. The goal landed her in the eighth spot on SportsCenter Top 10 that night and continues to be talked about during every Arizona match since.

Continuity in the Back Line
Arizona returns all four of their back line members for the 2019 season. Last season, Morgan McGarry, Samantha Falasco, Hallie Pearson and Sabrina Enciso played the bulk of the minutes and allowed just 19 goals in 21 games, an average of 0.87 goals allowed per game. The quartet were instrumental in keeping nine clean sheets, including five straight during the non-conference slate, a program record.

Ranked
The Arizona Wildcats received their first taste of national fame on Oct. 8, being ranked for the first time during the 2019 season. They came at 25th after only receiving one vote throughout the season.

Building A Legacy
Tony Amato has taken the Arizona soccer program to heights it has never seen before with four NCAA Tournament appearances in the last five years. In his six years at the helm, the Wildcats have finished .500 or better with at least nine wins in each year. The expectations for the 2019 squad are no different this year with 19 returners from last year's team that hosted the first round of the NCAA Tournament and were knocked out by a quality Tennessee opponent in the second round. UA brings back 72% of their scoring from the 2018 season, including Jada Talley who led Arizona with seven goals last year. 

An Unprecedented Run
Head coach Tony Amato, Arizona's winningest coach of all time, has taken the Arizona soccer program to places it has never been. For starters, he has led the Wildcats to the NCAA Tournament four of his first six years as head coach, including four of the last five seasons. Prior to his arrival, the team made the tournament just twice from 1994 to 2012. Additionally, his teams have never finished the season below .500 in his six years, while Arizona had a record of .500 or better just twice in the previous 19 seasons.

Going for the Record
Kelcey Cavarra has played in all 75 matches during her 3+ years at Arizona and has helped the lead the Wildcats to a record of 43-24-8 during that time. She is currently four wins behind Arizona's winningest player of all time, Kennedy Kieneker, who graduated in the Spring of 2019.
