The Arizona softball team recently released its 2010 spring softball schedule. The Wildcats will open their season Feb. 12 at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz., against Western Michigan.
The Wildcats will face 29 games against last year’s NCAA tournament teams. Ten of those games pit Arizona against teams that made the Women’s College World Series last year.
The out-of-conference opponents include Missouri — a surprise WCWS team from a year ago — and Creighton, who knocked off the Wildcats in a 6-0 stunner at Hillenbrand Stadium a year ago. And of course, Arizona will face its tough Pacific 10 Conference schedule which includes last year’s NCAA National Champions, the Washington Huskies.
