Sophomore RHP Benton Hickman started for Arizona. Allowed a two-out single, which was erased on a caught-stealing. Hickman pounded the strike zone with his fastball (cutter?). Will be interesting to see what the plan is for one of the staff's biggest talents.
FOOTBALL / Vote for Noah. Junior quarterback Noah Sterart is a nominee for Arizona Republic Player of the Week. In a 46-30 win over Williams Field, he completed 21 of 26 passes for 253 yards and three TDs, without an interception.
