Arizona’s softball program has been a regular contributor to Team USA, and that trend appears to be continuing.
Two current Wildcats and a recent graduate have been selected to participate in the 2022 USA Softball Women’s National Team Selection Trials that are scheduled for Jan. 1-6 in Vero Beach, Fla.
Sophomore outfielder Janelle Meoño, sophomore catcher Sharlize Palacios and ex-UA catcher Dejah Mulipola are among the 45 players invited to try out for Team USA. Mulipola, who played for the Wildcats from 2017-21, has been a member of the Women’s National Team for three years, having helped it win the silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics this past summer, while Meoño and Palacios are getting their first invites.
