News
Soccer takes on Oregon schools; team to honor senior Greenwood

The Arizona soccer team plays host to conference foes Oregon State and Oregon this weekend in its final home series of the season.

The Wildcats (5-8-2, 1-3-1 Pacific 10 Conference) take on the Beavers tonight at 7 before facing the visiting Ducks at 1 p.m. Sunday.

Win or lose, Sunday's match brings reason to celebrate for Arizona, as the team will honor senior defender and team captain Lindsey Greenwood before the match on senior day at Murphey Stadium.

A transfer from Nebraska to Tucson before her junior season, Greenwood started 18 of Arizona's 19 games last year, tallying two goals and two assists while registering 12 shots.

Greenwood ÷ a native of Bettendorf, Iowa, and two-time Gatorade state Player of the Year while attending Pleasant Valley High School ÷ is one of just four Wildcats to start all 15 of the team's games so far this season.

The Wildcats are coming off a split on the road last weekend, when they edged Southern California, 1-0, in Los Angeles before falling, 4-0, to No. 3 UCLA in Westwood, Calif. The win over USC snapped an eight-game losing skid to the Trojans.

Pac-10 Soccer
UA vs. Oregon State:
Today, 7 p.m.

UA vs. Oregon:
Sunday, 1 p.m. (senior day)

Both games at Murphey Stadium

Sophomore midfielder Mallory Miller and junior forward Candice Wilks share the UA individual scoring lead with six goals, two assists and 14 points each.

Freshman midfielder Erin Bevacqua is third with three goals and six points, followed by junior midfielder Vanesha Bailey, who has two goals and an assist.

Sophomore goalkeeper Natalie Juarez has posted a 1.59 goals against average in 12 starts this season. Juarez was in net during Arizona's shutout win over USC last week.

A Wildcat win against the Beavers (6-8-2, 2-2-1 Pac-10) tonight would match the team's win total from last season. Arizona has already equaled its Pac-10 win total from 2002, when the team finished 1-8-0 during conference play.

Oregon State comes to Tucson this weekend after splitting a pair of Pac-10 matches against California and Stanford last weekend.

The Beavers fell to California, 3-2, on Oct. 24, but rebounded two days later to defeat defending conference champion Stanford, 1-0.

OSU leads the all-time series 4-3-1 over the Wildcats. The Beavers trounced Arizona, 5-0, last season in Corvallis, with the Wildcats' last win over Oregon State ÷ a 2-1 overtime triumph ÷ coming on Oct. 21, 2001 in Tucson.

Oregon (8-7-0, 2-3 Pac-10) is also coming off a split with the Bay Area schools last weekend. The Ducks fell to the Cardinal, 3-1, before blanking the Golden Bears, 2-0, and will face Oregon State in Tempe tonight before facing the Wildcats on Sunday.

Oregon holds a 4-1-1 edge all-time against Arizona, including a 3-2 win in Eugene last season. Arizona's only victory over the Ducks was a 2-1 win on Oct. 19, 2001 in Tucson.
