Tucson – The #15 University of Arizona Wildcat hockey team defeated #24 Arizona State 4-1 on Friday night. Josh Larson, Anthony Cusanelli, Justin Dungey, and Chris Westlund scored for the Wildcats. 

"This is a huge win and gives us an opportunity to win a championship tomorrow," said UA head coach Chad Berman. "We have to play better to win the Cactus Cup."

The Wildcats improved to a 15-6 record and will face off against ASU again tomorrow night at 7:30 pm at the Tucson Arena. With a win tomorrow night, the Wildcats have a chance to capture the Cactus Cup (the trophy given to the winner of the annual UA/ASU series) at home. Also Saturday night, Arizona Hockey will retire the jersey of #16 Kelly Walker, the all-time ACHA scoring champion in a public ceremony after the first period.
