Dejah Mulipola will play at Hillenbrand Stadium this year after all.
Arizona softball will host the USA Softball Women’s National Team on Feb. 18, 2020 as a part of the “Stand Beside Her” tour in its preparation and training for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the UA announced Thursday.
Mulipola, Arizona’s senior catcher, is one of 18 players on the U.S. roster. Her commitment with USA Softball means she will not play for the Wildcats in 2020, though she will return in 2021.
“I am so excited to return to Tucson, which I consider my second home,” Mulipola said in a statement.
