This is the first of eight games scheduled this fall for the Wildcats. The full fall schedule is listed below.

Season ticket holders will receive one complimentary ticket per season ticket for each date. Tickets will be general admission with seating on a first-come, first-served basis.

This will be fans first opportunity to see the 2020 Wildcats, fresh off a Women's College World Series appearance in 2019. The Wildcats return seven starters and four pitchers from last season's 48-win team that made Arizona's 23rd trip to Oklahoma City, including NFCA All-Americans Alyssa Palomino-Cardoza, Reyna Carranco and Jessie Harper as well as all-Pac-12 performers Malia Martinez and Alyssa Denham.

Arizona's freshman class -- Isabella Dayton, Alayna Hicks, Janelle Meono and Sharlize Palacios -- will make their Wildcat debuts on Wednesday. Arizona's fifth newcomer, Mariah Lopez, a transfer from Oklahoma, will not be eligible to compete this fall due to NCAA transfer rules.
