The Pumas, led by standout performances by goalkeeper Sydney King, who made seven saves during her time on the field, and defender Ila Bezzant, worked tirelessly to compete against PC's relentless attack. King, along with fellow keeper Magdalena Eastwood, combined for 10 total saves, providing crucial support for the team.

While the result wasn't in their favor, Coach Uriarte remains focused on the big picture. "This is just the beginning of our journey together," he added. "We are building a team that believes in itself, and one another. We're not defined by one game but by our growth and ability to unite as a unit."

Looking ahead, the Pumas will continue their season on Saturday, August 31, when they travel to Tucson to face Pima Community College at 8pm.
