March 23- Arizona will close out their regular season on Saturday as part of a special event, taking on Cal Poly as part of the 2018 Tucson Cup at Kino Sports Complex. 

​

The 9th-ranked Wildcats have made two changes from the team that defeated #15 San Diego State last Saturday, with Captain Kyle Rogers and Vice Captain Sean Coleman leading the team that hopes to punch their ticket to the playoffs. 

​

In the Forwards, Arizona's dynamic Lock duo of Coleman and Bronson Teles will feature heavily, with Teles being named Wildcat of the Week for his standout performance last weekend. "He just continues to grow in to the role and he's got a great big brother in Sean Coleman" said Head Coach Sean Duffy. In the backline, Garrett Walker slides in to Wing in place of Ryan Hudson and looks to get loose against the tough Cal Poly defense. "A tremendous Fall Sevens season for him and he's carried that in to Spring as we've seen in a number of our Second XV matches. A nice peek in to the future on Saturday as he's a key piece of it." George Niethammer makes his first appearance in the roster for the First XV hoping to make his debut after a strong week of training.

​

Arizona Second XV will also return to action this weekend, taking on Cal Poly Second XV immediately following the first side match. Admission to the Tucson Cup is free with fans encouraged to attend earlier matches in the day and evening matches following the Wildcats' game. Arizona Second XV will close their regular season on April 7th when they welcome New Mexico to Tucson.
