After losing the final regular-season game of her career at Rita Hillenbrand Stadium, fifth-year senior Hanah Bowen wasn’t sure if Arizona softball had done enough to get into the tournament.
“I’m not sure yet, but I’m excited to see where we’ll be,” Bowen said.
She, her teammates, and her coaches have to be really excited tonight. They landed in the tournament for their 35th straight year despite finishing tied for last place in the Pac-12 with an 8-16 conference record.
The Wildcats will travel to Columbia, Missouri to face Illinois (34-20, 15-7 Big Ten) in their first game on Fri.
