ASU junior midfielder Jemma Purfield (11) celebrates with her teammates after scoring a goal in a game against Oregon State on Friday, Sept. 22, 2017 at the Sun Devil Soccer Stadium in Tempe, Arizona.



While ASU soccer has not had its best season on the field, the team is still moving in the right direction thanks to a special bond between junior forward and transfer student Jemma Purfield and head coach Graham Winkworth. This season is their third-straight season working together — two seasons were at the University of South Alabama and now at ASU.
