The Arizona women’s soccer team battled No. 24 Ohio State to a 0-0 draw in a two-overtime thriller Sunday afternoon in Columbus, Ohio.
Senior Jazmin Ponce led Arizona (3-0-1) with seven shot attempts, including three on goal. Freshman Lexe Selman and Jaden DeGracie registered two shots each. The Wildcats outshot Ohio State (3-0-1) 17-16, with nine Arizona players contributing to that total.
“I cannot say enough about our team’s effort tonight,” Wildcats coach Tony Amato said. “The heart we showed from start to finish is something to be proud of, especially after playing Friday and traveling here. I know our team loves to compete, and they once again expressed their desire to be successful.”
In net, goalkeeper Gabby Kaufman tallied seven saves for Arizona. Rachel Middleton played the first half for Ohio State, recording a total of two saves, and Jillian McVicker had three saves over the final 65 minutes.
The Wildcats next head to Tempe, Ariz., to compete in the Sun Devil Classic, with their first match coming against Illinois on Friday.
