Arizona soccer breaks winless streak with win over New Mexico State
The Arizona Wildcats got their first win since last September
On August 12, 2026, Arizona soccer broke their winless and scoreless streaks during a 2-0 victory over New Mexico State. An enthusiastic crowd of 1,124 fans attended the event at GCU Stadium. Head coach Becca Moros highlighted the team's talent and emphasized that players had to step up due to their young status. The game's positive impact was also felt by the goals, which were scored on new turf and a newly installed scoreboard.
The first goal came in the 51st minute when Jessica Bedolla scored off a corner kick. Her teammate, Lainey Swanson, added the second goal in the 66th minute. Both goalkeepers, Sofia Cortes-Browne and Laurynn Ziller, kept clean sheets throughout the game. As the team prepares for their upcoming matches, including a trip to Spokane against Gonzaga and a neutral-site game against LSU, Moros expressed optimism about the team's progress and the promising developments.
