After being ranked No.10 in the first preseason poll, more preseason buzz was generated Wednesday when three Wildcats were named to the USA Softball Player of the Year Watch List. Seniors Katiyana Mauga, Mandie Perez and Danielle O'Toole were named to the 50 player watch list.
It marks Mauga's third consecutive season on the watch list while Perez and O'Toole both appear for the first time.
The Wildcats have three of the nine total Pac-12 players on the list. The Oregon Ducks were the only other Pac-12 team with multiple players represented (2).
Mauga headlines the Arizona lineup this season, and will be chasing records all season long.
