<description><![CDATA[The Associated Student of the University of Arizona Senate officially passes their constitution after two weeks of tabling a vote. W.A. Franke Honors College Senator Aparna Chandresekar announces a new template and plan for a more useful UNIV 101 Honors course. ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[This week, the Associated Students of the University of Arizona Senate voted on its constitution after two weeks of tabling. The constitution was unanimously approved by senators and is to be signed by ASUA President Adriana Grijalva to become official. 
The Senate was excited to welcome the new College of Fine Arts Senator Joclyn Flynn to her first official meeting. “I am very eager to be here and see how I can help improve the college of fine arts and UA as a whole,” Flynn said. 
In an update for the elections and policy committee, it was shared that there are hopes to review this year’s election code with the election commissioner soon. After review, the code will then move to be voted on by the Senate. 
The internal affairs committee is working to upload all senators’ office hours to a single document to be available and more accessible on their website soon. This allows students to know when senators are available to connect and answer any questions about the University of Arizona and ASUA’s processes. 
At-large Senator Eddie Barrón called attention to an event welcoming Democratic Congressional nominee for AZ District 7, Adelita Grijalva. Co-hosted by UA College Democrats and UA Planned Parenthood General Action, this event will take place at Gentle Ben’s on Sept. 16 at 4 p.m. More information on how to register can be found on the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/uacd_?igsh=MTFsYzkyN243em9pag==">UACD</a> or <a href="https://www.instagram.com/uappgen?igsh=MWt3ajhnc2pyZXV5Nw==">UA PPGA</a> Instagram accounts.
W.A. Franke Honors College Senator Aparna Chandresekar highlighted the Honors UNIV 101 curriculum change, which will have a template and mock course for spring 2026. Last school year, John Pollard, the Dean of Franke, and other advisors met once a week to begin revising the curriculum. 
“We wanted to reshape the course to revolve more on what a first-year student really needs to know about campus and how to thrive as a student,” Chandresekar said. 
The goal of the committee is to have the class fully up and running by fall 2026. Chandrasekar noted that this change in the Honors UNIV 101 curriculum will have no impact on the standard UNIV 101 courses.
The Senate recapped their recent lunch with the College Deans and the Provost, allowing senators to connect and facilitate collaboration and cooperation between student representatives and administration. 
“I think this was a really great experience as a senator being able to not just build connections with my own dean, but to be able to speak with other deans and other senators,” Eller College of Management Senator Janhavi Mehta said.
“It gave a sense of perspective,” College of Science Senator Elizabeth Ghartey said. “And I was able to connect with the human side of administration as well.”
The Senators were reminded of the ASUA open house on Sept. 18th from noon to 2 p.m. This event will take place in the ASUA office in the Student Union Memorial Center. Students are encouraged to connect with senators and other representatives to ask questions and better get to know their student government.

<description><![CDATA[Custom teaser: The University of Arizona triathletes brought home a second place finish in the Desert Edge Collegiate Cup on Sunday, Sept. 14, in Loma, Colorado. The Wildcats had impressive results, with two top five finishers.]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[The University of Arizona triathlon team placed second overall in the Desert Edge Collegiate Cup on Sunday, Sept. 14, in Loma, Colorado. This was the Wildcats’ second event of the season. 
Arizona was competing against seven other schools in the event, earning a total of 283 team points behind ASU with 295. 
Collegiate sprint
The individual results saw all seven Wildcat participants finish in the top 25 in the collegiate sprint with two in the top five. 
Senior and third-year competitor Kelly Wetteland finished first out of 66 competitors with a time of 1:02:48. Wetteland continues to be a huge athlete for the Arizona program. Ruth Pardy, sophomore first-year competitor, managed a fifth place performance with a time of 1:04:01.
Sophomore Sara Crociani finished 12th with Dana Prikrylová, who has been on the team since her freshman year, trailing closely behind in 15th. 
Senior Molly Lakustiak, an experienced competitor with Arizona, finished 19th with a time of 1:06:16. Sophomores Ellison Wolfe and Mia Wentzy brought the team home with a 20th and 23rd finish. 
Led by Wetteland’s first-place finish, the Wildcats’ depth was on full display in a very dominant showing for Arizona. The Wildcats proved to be a team to watch within the collegiate triathlon circuit. 
Looking ahead
Arizona will host ASU in the Duel in the Desert on Saturday, Sept. 20, at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center. This will be their first-ever home race in the program’s history, with the preliminaries beginning at 7 a.m. and the finals at 9 a.m.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The University of Arizona women’s volleyball team (6-3) lost 3-1 (25-19, 25-21, 25-17, 25-18) against University of Texas at El Paso on Sept. 16, at 6 p.m. in McKale Center. After spending the last two games on the road, the Wildcats extended their losing streak to three games after what was hoped to be their comeback game against the UTEP Miners.
Jordan Wilson led the Wildcats with 14 kills and eight digs followed by Ana Heath and Carlie Cisneros who both tallied 11 kills. Avery Scoggins totaled 41 assists, which was vital to Arizona’s offense, while also getting the highest amount of digs for Arizona, 15. 
“I think as a team we’re probably going to put a lot of emphasis on staying aggressive. After every single point, you know, no matter how many back-to-back mistakes or errors people make, we don’t want to stop swinging, we still want to put our foot on the pedal,” fifth-year libero Haven Wray said. 
Set 1 
UTEP started strong, gaining a 4-0 lead on Arizona, but that didn’t stop the Wildcats’ momentum as they had back-to-back digs from Cisneros assisted by Scoggins, getting their first 2 kills on the board. Due to UTEP gaining a 7-point lead, Arizona had to play catch up to the Miners as it took the Wildcats a while to find their footing. Arizona started to make a comeback with a kill, followed by an ace from Heath which closed the gap to 23-17. UTEP’s middle blocker Kaya Weaver broke Arizona’s 5-0 run with a spike that gave the Miners the match point.
The Wildcats comeback in this set was unfortunately not enough as the Miners took the first set 25-19. 
“We kind of have a bad habit early into the game. We make continuous mistakes, and we kind of dig ourselves into a hole,” junior middle blocker Journey Tucker said.
Set 2 
Scoggins served an ace that got the Wildcats the first point on the board in this second set. The Wildcats and Miners were neck-and-neck through the beginning of the set when Wilson hit a dig that gave Arizona a 7-6 lead over UTEP. The set remained tight but Arizona continued to maintain a point lead over the Miners. Cisneros gives Arizona a 3-point lead after a kill assisted by Scoggins. 
Arizona took the second set 25-21 after a serve from UTEP’s Mattie Gantt went out of bounds. 
Set 3 
Tucker started off the third set with a kill for Arizona, but Danika Washington blocked an Arizona spike giving the Miners the lead 3-2. Sara Pustahija served an ace that extended UTEP’s lead 14-8 over the Wildcats. After an intense rally, Arizona got the point from an out of bounds hit, but the Wildcats were still behind 17-12. Arizona started to make a comeback with a kill from Tucker, which shortened the Miner’s lead to 4 points. Arizona’s comeback came too late as the Miners had already taken the set 25-17, giving them a 2-1 set lead over the Wildcats.
Set 4
UTEP took the lead in the fourth set 2-0 but Arizona made a quick comeback to gain possession of the ball after a spike from Heath. The Wildcats started to catch up after a net violation from UTEP and an out of bounds hit which lowered the Miners lead to 5-4. A strong rally that ended with a block from Scoggins shortened the points difference between the Miners and Wildcats to 13-12. With a 5-0 scoring run for the Miners, Arizona called a timeout to catch up to the 18-12 lead from the Miners. Unfortunately, the Wildcats were too far behind the Miners and unable to catch up.
UTEP took the fourth set 25-18 after a kill by Landry Braziel with an assist from Kalia Kohler.
“Compete, play hard, be confident in yourself, do the things that are necessary to be a champion. Whether you win or lose, you still have to be a confident individual […]. Going to Nebraska we have nothing to lose, they have everything to lose,” Arizona head coach Charita Stubbs said. 
Looking forward 
The Wildcats head back on the road this week to take on University of Nebraska-Lincoln on Saturday, Sept. 20, at 6 p.m. in the John Cook Arena at Bob Devaney Sports Center.

<description><![CDATA[The University of Arizona volleyball team will host the University of Texas at El Paso this Tuesday, Sept. 16, at 6 p.m. in McKale Center as the Wildcats walk in with a 6-2 this season.]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[The University of Arizona volleyball team will take on the University of Texas at El Paso this Tuesday, Sept. 16, at 6 p.m. in McKale Center. The Wildcats are 6-2 this season and the Miners are 8-1, having fallen short against UCLA. 
<h4>History vs. UTEP</h4>
The two teams met up for their first match in 1977, concluding with a Wildcat 3-0 win. The Wildcats and Miners have since competed 11 times, featuring their last game in 2022, where the Wildcats won 3-1 at home. In the team’s history of competing, the Miners have only come out on top once and tied once as Arizona leads the series, 9-1-1. 
<h4>UTEP this season</h4>
UTEP this season is coming in strong with eight wins and one loss. Aside from the Miners’ 3-0 loss against UCLA in El Paso, Texas, the team has shown what they are capable of this season. Senior Sara Pustahija put up a match-high 11 kills in the team’s Sept. 12, matchup against Texas Southern University, while senior Kaya Weaver and sophomore Landry Braziel both showed their skills at the service line with two aces each.
Setting records in the 2024 season, UTEP posted a 27–5 record, reaching 20 wins faster than any other team in NCAA Division I history. Looking to keep setting records in this season, UTEP will utilize returning players such as standout middle blocker Kaya Weaver, who was announced this year’s Conference USA Preseason Player of the Year and placed in the national top 10 for both hitting percentage and total blocks during her junior season in 2024, (151 blocks, .439 hitting percentage).
UTEP has also added new promising players to its roster this year, including Fuka Sekita, a junior college transfer from New Mexico Military Institute. Early in the season, Sekita has shown impressive skill with her sharp defensive instincts and ability to keep plays alive through key digs. 
<h4>Wildcats this season</h4>
After closing the 2024 season with 11 straight wins, the Wildcats return hungry and eager for continued success. The Wildcats started off the season strong with six consecutive wins, however, they have their most recent two games, falling short in their away game against the University of Washington this past Friday and the University of San Diego on Saturday. 
Having started every match in 2024, the Wildcats’ outside hitter Jordan Wilson is back this season as a senior, having already gotten herself on the game leaderboard with her performance kills, aces and blocks.
After being named the 2024 AVCA Pacific Region Freshman of the Year, setter Avery Scoggins returned to the court as a sophomore and, despite the loss to Washington, delivered a strong performance with a double-double of 32 assists and 12 digs.
Both teams have established strong presences on the court this season, making this a matchup worth watching to see if UTEP can secure another win in the series, with the last coming in 2021.

<description><![CDATA[ The University of Arizona soccer program secured a 5-2 victory over GCU in their last non-conference match of the season on Sunday, Sept. 14, at 11 a.m. at Mulcahy Field. ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[The University of Arizona soccer team secured a 5-2 win against GCU on Sunday, Sept. 14, at 11 a.m. at Mulcahy Stadium. This was the Wildcats last game before entering conference play. 
<h4>First half</h4>
Arizona started strong, getting several offensive opportunities early on with Marissa Arnst on the left outside. She found crosses across the box but ultimately couldn’t find someone on the connecting end. Most of the Wildcat’s shots were not on frame but still helped them to gain momentum as they pushed into the final third. 
Off of a turnover on the Lope’s end, Arizona worked the ball up the field, finding Aurora Gaines just outside of the box. Gaines slipped the ball to Jessica Bedolla who struck the ball into the back of the net. Just six minutes into the game, Arizona led 1-0. 
The Wildcats held onto possession for long periods throughout the first half, finding connecting passing amongst their midfield and defensive lines. GCU earned several free kicks from outside the box following Arizona fouls. However, none of them resulted in points. 
Arizona’s defensive line did a good job in clearing the ball and rebuilding possession up the field as the Lopes started to gain their own momentum. 
In the 20th minute of play, GCU tried to drop the ball to its goalie who then attempted to clear the ball. Her clearance went straight up and ultimately fell right back down near the goal line behind the Lope defense. Narissa Fultz tracked the ball down and was able to cut it back inside behind GCU defense where she found Aurora Gaines on the receiving end to secure their second goal of the game, now leading 2-0. 
Wildcat defense had a hand ball inside the box, resulting in a penalty kick for the Lopes. Unfortunately for GCU, its shot went just wide of the goal, missing the opportunity. 
In transition off of the missed shot, the Wildcats had a close attempt on the opposing goal with a shot grazing over the cross bar. The Wildcats continued to work the ball forward and build up from the back when GCU got chances in their final third. 
As the first half came to a close, Arizona remained in the lead 2-0. 
<h4>Second half</h4>
A majority of the second half consisted of back and forth play for GCU and the Wildcats. Olivia Ramey, Arizona’s keeper made several saves for the team that kept possession under Wildcat feet. 
GCU relentlessly tried to find the net but were unsuccessful in its attempts. On the opposite side of the field, Arizona’s Sami Baytosh had a close header that rolled off the field on the right side of the net. 
With an excruciating 90 degree heat on the field, many players were running out of steam in the second half, causing through balls to roll out of play. 
The Lopes started to up their offensive efforts and powered shots off at Ramey. After several attempts, Ellie Johannes placed their first goal of the match, putting GCU on the board. 
In response, Ella Hatteberg knocked one in from the top of the box off of a slip-back cross from Baytosh, keeping Arizona in a comfortable two goal lead at 3-1.
GCU fought to come back, firing off shots from Johannas that Ramey made impressive saves on. 
Jessica Bedolla found herself at the top of the box and laid off a shot that bounced off GCU’s keeper right into the feet of Ella Weathersby who earned her first goal of the season. This advanced the Wildcats to a 4-1 lead with limited time remaining for GCU to make a comeback. 
In a GCU breakaway that put both the Lope player and Arizona defender on the ground, Caprice Chiuchiolo snatched the ball and hit a shot past Ramey to find GCU’s second goal of the game. 
This 2-0 difference didn’t last long as Arizona pushed up the field and found connections inside the goal which led to Arizona’s fifth and final goal of the match from Baytosh, her second of the season. 
As the game came to a close, Arizona walked away with a 5-2 victory. 
<h4>Looking ahead</h4>
Arizona soccer will enter its first conference game against Iowa State University on Thursday, Sept. 18, at 5 p.m. in Ames, Iowa. It has been two years since the programs have faced each other.

<description><![CDATA[Love, loss, death and a comedy of errors interwoven. Experience Les Misérables.
]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[“Les Misérables” hardly needs an introduction, but for those who have never had the opportunity to witness the masterful musical, it’s an epic tale of crushing bitterness, hope, dreams, vices, dogma and self sacrifice. Interspersed with the comedic musings of Thénardier, played by Matt Crowle, and his gang, the production develops into a tale about the truth of righteousness and the redemption of one’s soul.
It is a raucous performance that will have you on the edge of your seat. Attendee Ruth Raish looked forward to seeing the show after watching the movie version many times.
“I’m excited to see the live raw talent,” Raish said. “If you watch a movie, it’s like, ‘well, they’re movie stars and they do that all the time.’” 
Following Jean Valjean, played by Nick Cartel, we learn of the tragic life that befalls a petty criminal of France in the year 1813. The Bishop of Digne is the only one who shows him kindness and convinces Valjean to change his ways. 
What starts as a road of redemption for Valjean becomes much more complicated. His past and the dogmatic constable Javert, played by Nick Rehberger, haunt him. He becomes the father to an orphan, Cosette, upon a death bed promise to her mother. He even fights in a bloody revolution known as the barricade massacre and lives to tell the tale. 
Marie Valade is another attendee who last saw the show in theaters 25 years ago. She came to the show with her husband. 
“It’s just some of our favorite music,” Valade said. Her favorite character is the comedic relief, Thénardier. His key song “Master of the House” is an unforgettable performance and provides levity to the intensity of the show. 
Valjean and those around him endured hardships and questioned the cruelty of the world around them. The dreams of Fantine, played by Lindsay Heather Pearce, were expressed in her heart wrenching solo. And the cries of the students pierced through the theater; they wished for the people to hear them and rally under the red flag, the symbol of the blood of martyrs.
Sarah Collins also attended the show for the first time, despite knowing every song by heart. “I’m pretty excited to see ‘On my Own’ by Éponine,” Collins said.
Played by Mya Rena Hunter, Éponine’s solo “On my Own” was a theater shaking performance. With so many more memorable moments from the production, it’s hard to pick a favorite. 
Matt Kinley’s set design envelops you into the scene and demands your attention at all times. Each scene felt elaborate in ways that allow your imagination to wander, while still trying to keep you in each moment. 
The sound designer, Mick Potter, will make your heart jump during the battle scenes and the almost too real gunshots will make the death of each character rattle hard in your chest.
It is an unforgettable experience. If you get the chance, come see Les Misérables.

<description><![CDATA[Kaibab-Huachuca won’t be welcoming new residents this fall. The university is temporarily closing the building as a part of broader housing adjustments, leaving the future of the dorm unknown for now.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The University of Arizona’s Kaibab-Huachuca dorm building will not welcome new students this fall as part of structural changes to campus housing for the 2025-2026 academic year. 
According to Ali Santander, associate director of marketing and communications for UA Housing and Residential Life, projections showed occupancy would be lower than previous years, so it was logical to close a dorm.
KAHU was specifically chosen for closure by UA Housing and Residential Life for several reasons. Santander explained that in previous years, KAHU has had less demand than other dorms, and the number of beds fit the needs for a reduction in occupancy. Housing officials emphasized that dorm communities “thrive better when the dorm is close to full capacity,” making the closure a strategic decision to maximize occupancy in the remaining dorms.
The future of KAHU remains unknown. “We are currently evaluating next year’s projected incoming first-year class to determine our projected occupancy and any adjustments we might need to make,” Santander said. 
This change comes amid a plausible decline in student enrollment. New students weren’t the only ones affected by this change. Rypli Donahue, who was originally hired to be a KAHU residential assistant, was reassigned to be a residential assistant at the Coronado dorm. 
“The Kaibab RAs were reached out to by HSG-RA selection informing us that we were going to be relocated due to the dorm being closed for low enrollment,” Donahue said.
While there has been no official announcement by the UA, there was an estimated 6% decline in non-resident students and a 4% drop in international student enrollment from a June <a href="https://azregents.edu/">Arizona Board of Regents</a> meeting. That said, <a href="https://tucson.com/news/local/subscriber/article_938a5b00-caff-44d6-82c9-77e29980b61e.html">other estimations</a> depicted a higher percentage decline in enrollment.
The university hasn’t cited a specific reason for the decline or confirmed specific changes in enrollment. Certain alterations to admissions processes may play a role. The university will no longer admit students on a rolling basis, rather applications will be reviewed <a href="https://www.arizona.edu/admissions/counselors/announcements">holistically</a> and considered for scholarships.

<description><![CDATA[The University of Arizona soccer team is set to versus GCU in their eighth matchup of the season on Sunday, Sept. 14, at 11 a.m. at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Stadium. ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[The University of Arizona soccer team will face GCU for a home matchup on Sunday, Sept. 14 at 11 a.m. at Murphey Field at Mulcahy Soccer Stadium. This will mark the Wildcats’ eighth game of the season. 
History vs. GCU
The Wildcats hold a 2-1-1 record over the Lopes. Their most recent matchup was in September 2024, which resulted in a 1-0 win for the Wildcats. Their only loss against GCU was back in 2022, a 1-0 defeat. With a home field advantage, Arizona is favored to come away from the matchup with a win. 
GCU players to watch
The Lopes are led by Chris Cissell who is in his sixth season with GCU. Prior to this season, Cissell accumulated 60 wins, only four shy from the program record of 64. He’s led the team to a 4-2 standing so far this season, projecting a successful season. 
Tatum Hofstetter, a sophomore midfielder, currently leads the Lopes with 2 goals and one assist. While posing a threat offensively, out of Hofstetter’s 11 shots on goal, only three have been on target. If Hofstetter is able to find the net against Arizona, she could be dangerous for the Wildcats’ defense. 
Junior midfielder Madison Hamm leads GCU with two assists, a key playmaker for the team this season. Despite not having any goals, Hamm has secured one shot on goal which found the frame. Out of the Lopes’ six games, Hamm has started all, a valuable component of the team. 
Wildcats to watch 
Fourth-season head coach Becca Moros leads Arizona. As a prior player with a history of success, Moros is a proficient coach with knowledge capable of taking the team far into the season. 
Senior defensemen Maia Brown has been a staple for Arizona’s back line this season. Brown has made crucial tackles in high-intensity moments throughout the season. Against teams like Stanford University, Brown was a key player in holding a solid defensive line despite Stanford’s many offensive pursuits. 
In the offensive third, sophomore forward Jessica Bedolla consistently remains a threat against opponents. With 2 goals this season, Bedolla is tied with three other Wildcats for most goals. She’s taken a total of five shots, four of which fell on frame. Despite her starting in just three games, she continues to make an impact on the field.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The University of Arizona football team (3-0) won 23-17 over Kansas State University on Friday, Sept. 12, at 6 p.m. at Arizona Stadium, marking its third consecutive victory. The Wildcats went into this game with back-to-back wins after hosting both the University of Hawaii at Manoa and Weber State University with a combined score of 88-9.
With 40,051 fans in attendance, redshirt junior quarterback Noah Fifita led the way, going 16-for-33, 178 yards and two rushing touchdowns. Senior running back Ismail Mahdi ran for 189 yards.
“Respond with redline. I think that’s one of those things, keep the message clean […]. I think that’s one of those things that’s all part of our journey as a football team and learning how to do that with consistency […]. How are you going to respond in the tough moments? That’s what gives you a chance to be a good football team, is your response in the tough moments. Do you respond with redline? Do you respond with effort? Do you respond with execution? Do you respond with accountability?” said head coach Brent Brennan.
<h4>Offense</h4>
To begin the game, Fifita was able to scramble up the middle, gaining 15 yards. Shortly after, Fifita completed an 11-yard pass to Javin Whatley, advancing close to Kansas State’s 50-yard line. During early minutes of play, Arizona was reviewed for an incomplete pass, with the ruling standing. With a chance to gain its first point, Arizona’s 47-yard field goal attempt kicked by Michael Medina-Salgado was no good.
Mahdi allowed Arizona to be in K-State’s red-zone after running 60 yards in one play. Fifita scored Arizona’s first touchdown of the night after rushing 15 yards, gaining a 7-3 advantage over K-State. Fifita was able to complete multiple passes, including a 27-yard pass that allowed Luke Wysong to get into Kansas State’s redzone. Arizona’s next points came from Salgado-Medina kicking a successful 31-yard field goal attempt, putting the Wildcats ahead 10-3 with about 10 minutes remaining in the second quarter.
About halfway through the second quarter, Kansas State safety Logan Bartley was disqualified after being called for targeting. This was K-State’s second foul of the night. With about four minutes remaining in the second quarter, Fifita rushed up the middle of the field where the play was reviewed and ruled as a touchdown after Fifita reached the ball over the line. UA led 17-3 going into halftime after failing to hit a field-goal attempt from 62 yards.
After Arizona was limited to scoring in the third quarter, Medina-Salgado kicked a successful 31-yard field goal attempt, putting Arizona ahead 20-17. With under half to go in the fourth quarter during the third down and 15, Fifita’s checkdown pass to Mahdi was a 27-yard gain, bringing Mahdi to 216 all-purpose yards. Soon after, Medina-Salgado pushed Arizona’s lead to 23-17 with a 41-yard field goal.
<h4>Defense</h4>
Senior backer Max Harris was able to quickly stop Kansas State’s attempt at drawing up the ball early in the first quarter. Luis Rodrigues gained Kansas State’s first points after the kicker scored a successful 51-yard field goal attempt to put K-State up 3-0. Throughout the first half, Arizona’s defense put pressure on Kansas State, denying them from scoring a touchdown. Less than a minute into the third quarter, K-State wide receiver Jayce Brown scored Kansas State’s first touchdown, putting them within the 17-10 score.
After a play was reviewed for a potential touchdown from the opposing team, Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson was ruled successful for a 1-yard touchdown during the second and goal. At this point, Arizona’s defense seemed to be lackluster as the score was leveled 17-17. Shortly after, a 31-yard pass by Whatley that was intended for Keyan Burnett was intercepted by Qua Moss, limiting Arizona’s ability to gain an advantage in the third quarter.
Kansas State took two back-to-back timeouts with two minutes remaining in the game as Arizona found a way to hold its lead and secure the 23-17 victory. With a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, a pass by Johnson was broken up by Genesis Smith who was able to gain another turnover for Arizona to put the game away.
<h4>Looking ahead</h4>
Arizona will enter its bye week as the Wildcats prepare for their first conference match of the season against Iowa State University on Saturday, Sept. 27. Arizona heads on the road to play in Ames, Iowa, at Jack Trice Stadium.
“I think it’s very important to get out there and just take care of our bodies and mentally […]. Just taking care of our bodies, rest, recover and just focus on everything mentally,” Mahdi said about the team entering its bye week.
