The Denver Women’s Soccer team capped off a strong season with their second trip to the NCAA Women’s Soccer Tournament in two years. Their 13-6-2 season was their winningest season since the 2013 season where Denver went 18-2-1.

Denver kept the game close up until the second half, keeping Arizona on its feet in the first half. Freshman Samantha Feller (Grand Junction, Colo.) saw Denver’s best chance in the 42nd minute after receiving a long ball past the defense. Feller managed to beat the Arizona goalkeeper but had her shot deflected by an Arizona defender.

Arizona’s first goal of the game came in 53rd minute. Arizona’s goal ended Denver’s shutout streak that began after a win on Oct. 11 against Purdue Fort Wayne at 536 minutes. In that time, Denver had outscored their opponents 14-0.

Arizona scored again in the 57th minute from just outside the penalty area. They scored from the penalty spot in the 74th minute to bring the score to 3-0.

DU concluded their season on a high note, and look toward to starting next season strong.
