TUCSON, Ariz. – The University of Arizona women's soccer team was defeated by Florida Gulf Coast University with a score of 1–0 in Tucson, Ariz. on Friday night. The Wildcats outshot FCGU by 19-2 through the 90 minutes of action.
"We got the creating chances bit down," said head coach Tony Amato. "We should probably emphasize that we need to put those away. We created chances tonight but we couldn't score a goal. We made a mistake and they took it well. We just weren't able to find the back of the net after that."
Arizona is back in action on Sunday, Sep. 10 in Tucson, when the Wildcats will take on Texas Tech at 6 p.m. MST.
