Women’s Team of the Week: April 6
With a shortened spring season for most programs, even a short winning streak can make the difference in making the small tournament field.
Jill Aguilera’s goal contribution could prove to be decisive in Arizona’s quest to make the postseason. The forward scored a pair of goals in a 2-1 win over Stanford, and then setup the winner against California in a 1-0 victory on Sunday. The pair of wins could put the Wildcats on the pathway to an at-large bid.
Player of the Week: Jill Aguilera, Arizona
