Oklahoma senior right-hander Mariah Lopez is transferring to Arizona, giving the Wildcats a huge boost in the circle for the 2020 season.
The Saugus, California native went 19-1 with a 1.25 ERA in 2019, holding opponents to a .159 batting average while tallying 159 strikeouts in 117.2 innings.
Lopez also appeared in two Women’s College World Series games, helping the Sooners advance to the championship series.
Lopez was OU’s No. 2 pitcher, but will make a strong case to be Arizona’s new ace. The Wildcats lost ace Taylor McQuillin to graduation, but return No.
