Missouri transfer Rylee Pierce knew about the Arizona-ASU rivalry when she transferred to the UA in the fall, but it wasn’t until this weekend when she slipped into her uniform that she truly felt its intensity.
“I didn’t understand what it was like to feel all the emotions and all the excitement that come with it,” she said, “and the last three days have been really, really fun.”
Pierce homered and had an RBI single Sunday as Arizona softball beat Arizona State 2-0 to complete a dominant three-game sweep. The Wildcats outscored the Sun Devils 18-0 for the series, their first-ever shutout sweep of ASU.
