Arizona softball to turn to young catchers to replace Dejah Mulipola in 2020

By now the news isn’t quite so new. Arizona softball will be without decorated senior catcher Dejah Mulipola for the season as she pursues her Olympic dreams in Tokyo.

Who steps into the void on a team primed to return to the Women’s College World Series in 2020? Sophomore Izzy Pacho and freshman Sharlize Palacios both hope to be the answer to that question.

Arizona fans got a glimpse of the team’s two options as fall ball kicked off on Wednesday night with a 22-0 victory over Chandler-Gilbert Community College.
