Dejah Mulipola makes 2020 US Olympic team, will miss Arizona’s season

Arizona senior catcher Dejah Mulipola has made the 2020 U.S. Olympic team, it was announced Sunday.

She is one of 15 players heading to Tokyo next July. Tryouts were held last week in Oklahoma City. Senior centerfielder Alyssa Palomino-Cardoza did not make the cut.

Mulipola is the 10th Arizona softball product to become an Olympian. Former UA aces Taylor McQuillin and Danielle O’Toole will be representing Mexico in Tokyo.

Mulipola making the Olympic roster means she will miss the 2020 Arizona softball season. She has said she will redshirt and return in 2021.
