The postseason is here and Arizona softball might have a secret weapon in Mariah Lopez.
“As you listen to people talk, they don’t mention her name right now, but Mariah is a very good pitcher,” head coach Mike Candrea said. “I think she just needed to get her mind right and get some confidence.”
Lopez did that Saturday, tossing 4.2 scoreless innings in the regular-season finale against No. 2 UCLA, blanking one of the best lineups in the country. It was her first scoreless appearance since April 14 vs. GCU and her first all season against a Pac-12 opponent.
