Marissa Schuld may be Arizona’s future in the circle, but she grew up as a Sun Devil fan. Don’t hold that against her, though. The Scottsdale native saw the light at a young age.
“Once (Arizona) showed interest in me—which is in about eighth grade, I think—that’s when I fell in love with the school and I was following the softball program pretty heavy,” Schuld said. “And, then, it all happened from there.”
As one of two freshman pitchers, Schuld enters the UA program with big expectations. The right-hander was named the Gatorade Arizona Softball Player of the Year for both the 2017 and 2018 seasons.
