Mike Candrea, Alyssa Palomino-Cardoza reflect on reaching Women’s College World Series

The Arizona softball team beat Arkansas 4-1 on Saturday to sweep the Fayetteville Super Regional and clinch their 24th trip to the Women’s College World Series.

The Wildcats were trailing 1-0 in the fifth when sixth-year senior Alyssa Palomino-Cardoza lifted a two-run homer to give her team a lead it would not relinquish.

Here’s what she and head coach Mike Candrea had to say before hitting the road to Oklahoma City.
