TicketsCINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati women’s soccer team claimed its first Big 12 win this season, taking down Arizona 1-0 on Sunday morning.
The Bearcats improve to 3-5-5 while the Wildcats move to 7-6 on their season.
Cincinnati came out firing with four strong shots early, while holding Arizona to just one attempt in the first half, going into the break scoreless.
The Bearcats came back dominating the second half with 10 more shots and three corner kicks.
Senior Megan Smith delivered the game-winning goal in the 83rd minute, capitalizing on a rebound off the goalkeeper’s hands following a shot from senior Coley Sidloski. This marked Smith’s first goal of the season.
“It just fell to my feet, it felt like a little gift," Smith said.
Cincinnati's defense held Arizona to one corner kick and no shots in the second half.
Up next, the Bearcats continue at home, facing UCF on Sunday, October 12.
