Arizona softball head coach Caitlin Lowe wanted to see her team play loose. They lived up to her desire in an 11-1 run-rule victory over UC Santa Barbara in six innings and a 7-2 win over Long Beach State. It gave the Wildcats a 2-0 record in the Hillenbrand Invitational and a 5-1 record overall.
“I felt it way more,” Lowe said. “I told them they took up space in the box. I thought our outs were scary. Way more threatening of an offense today than I thought we had last weekend.”
In the first game, sophomore Devyn Netz took the circle for Arizona.
