It was a season of ups and downs, and some of those swings came very close together. Just three weeks after ending the season tied for last place in the Pac-12, the Arizona Wildcats were in Oklahoma City in their most improbable Women’s College World Series appearance ever.
The swings were just as wild in the polls. Arizona began the season ranked ninth by the national coaches before falling out of the poll on May 8. On Tuesday, the NFCA released its final poll. The Wildcats were ranked seventh in the USA Today/NFCA poll to end the season just over a month after dropping out altogether.
