It’s Monday which means it’s time to recap another week of Arizona Wildcats athletics. Let us know in the comment section if we missed anything.

Soccer

• Arizona scored three second-half goals on their way to a 4-3 win over TCU. Brooke Wilson, Samantha Falasco (PK), and Jill Aguilera (x2) were Arizona’s goal-scorers. The Wildcats are 6-1 heading into Friday’s conference opener vs. Colorado.
• Before the win over TCU, UA soccer went viral after it announced its petting zoo promotion had to be put on hold after sheep and goats escaped at a previous event and were roaming the streets of Tucson. Fortunately they made it to the game in one piece.
