Throughout the season, Arizona softball head coach Caitlin Lowe talked about how she would choose her players every time. She also felt that to be successful, they needed to choose and trust each other. After the latest news that Sharlize Palacios and Janelle Meoño plan to transfer, several Wildcats are reiterating that they choose each other and their coaches.
The reaction has been unique. When the group of five players entered their names into the portal just after the season ended, there was no public comment made by the remaining Wildcats. It appeared to be just the “new normal” for college sports and something that was expected.
