KEVIN KLAUS/Arizona Daily Wildcat Lindsey Greenwood attempts to go around a Cal Poly defenseman earlier this season. The Wildcats play against Oklahoma on Sunday.

The road has been good to the women's soccer team so far, but this is where the going gets tough.

This Sunday, the Wildcats journey to Norman, Okla., to face an opponent which is also off to its best start in school history ÷ Oklahoma.

The Sooners are 4-0-0 on the season, after defeating Drury and Arkansas with back-to-back 3-0 scores.

"We're excited," UA head coach Cathy Klein said. "This is the best team we've played all year."

Arizona is coming off of its second consecutive tournament win in two weeks and a 3-0-1 record, with all three wins coming as shutouts. That record is the best Arizona has done in a four-game stretch öö ever.

Senior Naomi Chu scored two goals in last Sunday's game against Northern Iowa and said she is looking for more of the same out of her team this weekend.

"This is going to be tougher than any game we've had yet," Chu said.

Oklahoma is not nationally ranked but is placed No. 6 in the Central Division. This weekend head coach Randy Evans will look to break his career .500 mark (29-29-3) in four seasons at the helm of the Sooner program as OU plays TCU on Friday before facing UA on Sunday.

The Wildcats and the Sooners have never met.

"We're looking forward to the challenge," Klein said.

One of the Wildcats has seen this team before ÷junior transfer Lindsey Greenwood had Oklahoma as a huge rival when she attended the University of Nebraska.

"It's pretty exciting going back there," Greenwood said. "It's going to be very interesting."

The Wildcats are aware that this could be the turning point of the season

"We've never played (Oklahoma) but this is the best we've ever played," Chu said.

This year the Wildcats have placed nine balls in the net all done by seven different people and have never lost after scoring first. Chu and freshman Mallory Miller are tied for the team lead with four points by way of two goals.

Greenwood and senior Tymarie Novak have netted one goal and one assist each to give each of them three points. Red shirt freshman Rachel Nelson, freshman Maggie MacCool, and freshman Lisa Kosena have one goal each.

Freshman Erin Clewett leads the team with three assists.

Freshman goalkeeper Amanda Martin has started all four games this year with two shutouts and 0.25 goals against average. Martin combined with freshman Natalie Juarez for the shutout against Northern Iowa.

Vanesha Bailey, a sophomore defender, was named to the All-Tournament team last weekend along with Martin, Chu and Clewett.
