The Arizona softball team is rolling one week into the season and things could not have gone better for the Wildcats in the Hillenbrand Invitational. They swept the competition going 5-0 in the four-day tournament outscoring opponents 39-6.

Senior Danielle O’Toole started her senior campaign strong, as she went 3-0 with an ERA of 0.35 and registered 22 strikeouts in during the weekend. Fellow senior Katiyana Mauga inched closer to Arizona’s school home run record, and the NCAA’s record, as she blasted four homers in the invitational. Mauga was named the Pac-12 Player of the Week.

Freshmen Jessie Harper and Alyssa Palomino came up big in their first competitive collegiate tournament.
