The Arizona softball team is on a roll entering this weekend’s series at Utah. The Wildcats have won 11 in a row and are 9-0 to begin Pac-12 play for just the fourth time in program history.
Head coach Mike Candrea often says success in softball stems from the circle, and the Wildcats are getting it done in that area.
Arizona’s 1.58 ERA is the eighth-best mark in the country and second-best mark in the Pac-12, only behind No. 1 UCLA.
That is a sharp improvement from the 1.94 ERA Arizona posted last season which ranked fifth in the Pac-12 and, ultimately, was the reason the Wildcats fell short of the Women’s College World Series for the eighth straight year.
