A Strategic Reinforcement for the Wildcats
Arizona Soccer has announced the arrival of two new players who will be part of the 2026 roster, bringing fresh talent and varied skill sets to the squad.
Grace Smith, a defender who spent the last two seasons at Ole Miss, contributed 31 appearances and 21 starts, logging 1,790 minutes in the SEC and earning a reputation for versatility and leadership on the back line.
Laurynn Ziller, who transferred from UC Irvine, made her collegiate debut in 2024 and quickly distinguished herself with solid performances between the posts, while also earning multiple Dean's List recognitions and the State Seal of Biliteracy for academic excellence.
Coach Rebecca Moros praised the newcomers, stating that their professionalism and competitive drive align perfectly with the team's ambitions for the upcoming season.
Their additions are expected to bolster both defensive stability and depth, giving Arizona a stronger foundation as it prepares for a challenging schedule.
