Last year, the Bear Down Fiesta featured the return of former Arizona Wildcats Danielle O’Toole and Taylor McQuillin with the Mexican National Team. This season, it features the homecoming of another Wildcat. Former Arizona shortstop Kristie Fox will bring her UNLV Rebels to town.
UNLV and Arizona sport identical 15-4 records, although the Wildcats have faced a much tougher schedule so far. The Wildcats will be just the second ranked team the Rebels have faced so far this season. They lost to then-No. 7 Washington 6-1 last weekend.
The difference in schedules can be seen in the teams’ RPI.
