Tucson, Ariz -- The Arizona Wildcats recorded a clean 5-0 sheet over UTEP in their first Spring match of 2020. With a brace from Forward Jada Talley and a hat trick from Forward Hannah Clifford, the Cats were able to pull out the victory over the Miners. They scored three in the first and finished off the second with the last two. Arizona managed to keep play in their attacking third for a majority of the match, rarely letting it slip into the Miner's control. However, when the ball was able to get past the Cats, Keeper Hope Hisey was there to make a few incredible saves.

Woman of the Match
Forward Hannah Clifford earned herself a hat trick against UTEP all within 30 minutes. The Junior Forward finished the 2019 season with one goal and three assists after playing in all 20 of Arizona's matches. This is her first hat trick of her career and sets her up for an incredible 2020 season with the Cats.

Play of the Match
Forward Jada Talley came out quick and reminded the crowd why she finished the 2019 season at the top of the Wildcat leader board. She didn't even wait 10 minutes before she did what she does best, scoring goals. She took a shot from the right corner and sent it straight back into the net to put the Cats on the board. 

Next Up 
On March 21 the Cats will head to Tempe, Ariz. to take on BYU at 12 pm MST for their second Spring match of 2020.
