By the Numbers
200 – The win against TCU marked the 200th career victory for the Wildcat Head Coach
Tony Amato. He became the most winningest coach in Wildcat history in 2018 and isn't looking to let go of that title any time soon.
2 – Two seems to be forward
Brooke Wilson's lucky number as it is the second time she has scored in the first two minutes of the match. Against TCU, she got the Wildcats off to a great start with a textbook shot past the keeper.

On the game overall...
"in college soccer you got to find ways to win games and, credit to our group for doing that. I thought in the first half there were some little things, from doing the grinding bit to the competitiveness stuff that I wanted to improve on...I thought we did in it the second half. There were some soccer things that we need to do a better job on...but proud of the team to find a way to win, ultimately that's what we are trying to do."
Frame Worthy
The Wildcats will be at home once again to play Colorado on September 27 at 7 p.m. MST. The following two weeks Arizona will host two nationally ranked teams, UCLA and USC.
