At 1 a.m. on Sept. 14, Adia Barnes was up late posting on Twitter. She talked about the things she wouldn’t miss about being pregnant. Around 6 a.m., she posted, “Go time.”

Barnes and her husband, Arizona Wildcats assistant coach Salvo Coppa, welcomed their new daughter into the world early in the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 15.

The new Wildcat, who they named Capri, is their second child. They also have a son, Mateo.

Barnes announced her pregnancy back in April. It hasn’t kept her from staying as busy as ever as she leads the Wildcats into a season disrupted by COVID-19.
