Jack Singer For the Arizona Daily Star Though she arrived on campus Aug. 23, UA freshman Angela Baron is well prepared to make an impact for the Wildcats’ soccer team.
Baron was a two-time first team all-district honoree at Keller High School. But it's her international experience that may give her an edge. Baron played center back for Colombia at the FIFA U20 Women's World Cup, advancing to the round of 16 before losing to Brazil on Aug. 20. Before that, she took part in the Copa America Femenina.
While Baron was a highly touted prospect due to her talents on the pitch, it's her intangibles that she believes will propel her towards success in Tucson. She is a vocal leader on and off the field, and says she has the ability to quell her nerves under intense pressure. You can credit her international playing experience for that.
