Arizona’s offense rides momentum into super regional

FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arizona softball team comes into this weekend’s NCAA Fayetteville Super Regional with offensive momentum.

The Wildcats (39-13) flexed their offensive prowess to rally from a 6-0 deficit against Ole Miss and claim a 12-6 victory to wrap up the Tucson Regional on Sunday. The victory secured the program’s seventh consecutive trip to a super regional.

The Wildcats, the No. 11 national seed, will take on the No. 6 seed University of Arkansas (43-9). The best-of-three series begins at 6 p.m. Friday at Bogle Park.

“I think that little comeback this weekend will feed some confidence and we can ride that wave a little bit,” said Arizona Coach Mike Candrea, who has guided the program to eight national titles.
