The Sun Devil soccer team will finally begin conference play this Friday against its toughest opponent to date: No. 3 UCLA. The Bruins (8-0-1) are the defending national champions and carry with them a 30-game win streak that extends back to last season. Even with this daunting task ahead of them, on paper, the Sun Devils (7-1-1) look like they're up for it. Coach Kevin Boyd's team is in the midst of a program record six-game win streak, outscoring their opponents 27-9. ASU also has had three players awarded Pac–12 Player of the Week honors. Experience plays a huge role in the Bruins' offense, with two seniors atop the scoring list. Senior midfielder Sam Mewis tops UCLA’s scoring list, with seven goals scored this season. Senior forward Rosie White's four goals take second place, while sophomore forward Darian Jenkins and junior forward Taylor Smith have three goals apiece. The dynamic duo of ASU's junior forward Cali Farquharson and freshman forward/midfielder Aly Moon will be a key in setting the pace early on against a seasoned UCLA defense.Farquharson has managed to score eight goals, and Moon only trails her teammate by one goal with seven on the season. Moon did not play last game against Cal State Northridge due to an injury, but should return to the starting lineup for the game against UCLA. Both girls have managed to score hat tricks at various points in the season, with Moon scoring hers against Hawaii (ASU won 5-2), and Farquharson scoring hers against Nevada (ASU won 5-0). Farquharson is not phased in the least about facing the No. 3 team in the nation. “We are just gonna go in, one game at a time,” Farquharson said. “They are just another opponent. We don't want to look at the jersey or the rankings, we just want to focus on how we are going to play against them.” ASU is also seeing junior defender McKenzie Berryhill return to the starting lineup, after coming off the bench the last three games. Berryhill will play a pivotal role for the Sun Devils against UCLA, as she brings experience and leadership to the back line, solidifying a defense that was shaky in her absence. She is especially potent in one-on-one situations. Farquharson is looking forward to facing the challenge of conference play, and cannot wait to kick off against UCLA. “I have high hopes for us,” Farquharson said. “We’ve been playing really well, and we are really deep. By this time last year a lot of us were pretty tired already, so it should be really exciting conference play, and I think we are going to do very well.” The Sun Devils host UCLA at 4 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 26, at Sun Devil Soccer Stadium.

ASU coach Kevin Boyd said that Friday's game almost felt like two separate games because of a severe storm and lightning that resulted in a 45-minute delay in Tucson. If both halves were counted that way, ASU would have won each of them handily. The Sun Devils hit the ground running, as junior forward Cali Farquharson finding the back of the goal in just 58 seconds. Freshman forward Jessica Raybe would double the lead less than two minutes later, a chip shot the ball over the head of junior goalkeeper, off an assist by redshirt sophomore defender Alyssa Martinez. “It was good because it was my first collegiate goal,” Raybe said. “I wasn’t really expecting it to happen.” ASU proved themselves to be a second half team, with both of their games being decided in the second half against Oklahoma State and Texas A&M.;Boyd emphasized that putting together a complete game was the next step for his team, which the Sun Devils appeared to accomplish against the Aggies. “I think we are doing an outstanding job,” Boyd said. “When we give the team something to do, they do it. Thats a great to have trait in a team. A lot of other coaches want that in their team, but they don’t have it. This team does.” The Sun Devils would indeed come out looking like a first half team early on in the game, playing more aggressively than in the past. “We were ready to go in the first half because that was one of our focuses.” Farquharson said. Freshman forward Jazmarie Mader would put the Sun Devils up 3-0 in the 31st minute, coming off an assist from Cali Farquharson. Lightning and rain in the area extended the halftime period, but ASU didn't lose any of its momentum going into the break. “There was an hour and 35 minute delay between the first and second half,” Boyd said. “We spent the whole time on the bus. They were doing the safe thing and protecting the players.” "You can almost view the game as two separate games because of the delay today,” Boyd said. “What was great about the second the half is that we scored five minutes into the half, and then 10 minutes into the half. Because of this luxury, we got to rotate our players in. We got to play 23 players into the game. I’m really happy our team did what they needed to do.” Junior defender McKenzie Berryhill was starting lineup not, with sophomore defender Mckenzie Grossman again starting in her place, but Berryhill logged 66 minutes off the bench."Kenny (Berryhill) playing back there always helps,” Raybe said. “She takes newer players under her wing. She helped everyone calm down and kept the game going.” Boyd was confident his team's top defender would return without much rust.“Our team has a ton of trust in her,” Boyd said. “She is also very good in a one versus one situation. She has a calming affect.” ASU would continue this relentless offensive attack, scoring two goals in the second half to put them up 5-0. Farquharson would add her second goal of the night in the 50th minute, (her fourth goal of the season) giving Martinez her second assist. “I was honestly really happy because I didn’t get to score in the last couple of games,” said Farquharson. “It was just a big relief. It was really nice to get an early goal.” These two goals moved Farquharson up in the Sun Devils all-time scoring list from eighth to sixth place. Freshman midfielder Aly Moon would score the final goal of the game, (and her sixth of the year) in the 55th minute, firing it into the top right corner. “I thought we thought we played fairly well,” Boyd said. “We did a good job of attacking their goal. I thought we were relentless about the way we just kept at them and at them and at them. New Mexico State played hard. They didn’t make it easy for us. They put us under pressure. They are trying to prepare themselves, and we are pretty formidable. Hopefully we added to their preparation process.” The Sun Devils are already preparing mentally for their game against Nevada. “Hopefully this game makes a statement,” Farquharhson said. “It boosts our confidence for sure. We just have to keep winning, and keep scoring goals.”The Sun Devils play Nevada at 12 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 14 to finish out the Cats Classic.Reach the reporter at mtsteine@asu.edu or follow him on Twitter @MarcTSteinerLike State Press Sports on Facebook and follow them on Twitter @statepresssport
