By Sean Collins

Senior Julia Glanz is a midfielder for the Arizona Wildcats soccer team and has scored one goal for the team this year, coming against No. 4 Stanford. She plays a key role in winning and maintaining possession of the ball for the Wildcats in the midfield.

Q: For the last home game, senior day against Cal, how much did that experience mean to you, with your family being here and everything?
A: I love when my family comes out to support, and my sister came as well, for the second time in my four years, so it was exciting to play in front of them.

Q: Did you get sad at all or was it exciting?
A: No, it was fun.

Q: Over the course of your career at Arizona, how exciting has it been for you to see the program develop as much as it has?
A: It’s been awesome, I guess that’s the only way I could put it. I came in and we won one game freshman year, so I mean it’s tough working so hard all throughout summer for season that lasts like four months, and to win one game is kind of rough, so seeing it progress over the years has been a great experience to be a part of.

Q: What are you getting your degree in this spring and what are you planning to do after that?
A: I’m getting my degree in interdisciplinary studies with a focus on nutrition and physiology, and I want be a college strength coach.
