Arizona softball gets (at least) one more chance to play in Tucson this spring.
The Wildcats were selected as the No. 11 overall in the NCAA Tournament and will host the Tucson Regional, where they’ll be joined by UMBC, Villanova and Ole Miss. After that, they may have to travel to Arkansas for a Super Regional against the No. 6-seeded Razorbacks.
It is Arizona’s 34th consecutive trip to the postseason, all coming under head coach Mike Candrea.
Candrea, shortstop Jessie Harper and outfielder Janelle Meoño discussed the Wildcats’ postseason draw and previewed the competition ahead.
Here are their full interviews.
