10. Starting off at number 10, we've got some of your favorite Arizona soccer players at an Arizona Football game. Note the Wildcat pride here:
9. Our second Instagram post of the feature captured fans attention as we announced our new jersey's for the 2017 season! Still love that keeper kit that Burdett is showing off in this one.
8. We captured some emotion from Lainey Burdett with our No. 8 post in a spring season match as she stopped a PK and got caught grinning as she walked it off.
How to be Lainey Burdett in a PK shootout:

7. The announcement of new assistant coach Kate Norton as we approached the summer months also picked up some interest - and boy did it pay off. Every player interviewed this year mentioned how much value Norton has added to the program.
Ladies & gentlemen, welcome new assistant coach Kate Norton to the #WildcatFamily!

3. Our next-best post relates to the NCAA match we hosted, as we captured the team's celebration when they found out that they would be hosting TCU in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Personal favorite - Sabrina Enciso in the front row catching the whole thing on Snapchat.

2. A close match against UCLA spawned the number two tweet of the season, when Arizona (again from behind) erased a 2-0 goal differential to tie the No. 1 UCLA Bruins in Tucson. UCLA would go on to finish as the runner-up in the 2017 NCAA Tournament.
