Photo by Ryan Kelapire Devyn Netz had a huge impact on Arizona softball during her sophomore and junior seasons, but her redshirt senior year has been one for the ages. The Big 12 Player of the Year is in line for another major honor after being named one of 10 finalists for the 2025 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year award on Wednesday morning. Netz is one of five pitchers and three two-way players on the list.

What are the storylines and what does Arizona need to do to advance to Super Regionals for the third time in Caitlin Lowe’s four-year tenure as head coach? The regional features two major things: familiar foes and strong pitching. On the other side, there’s one very new face in the regional this year.

Photo courtesy of Big 12 Conference OKLAHOMA CITY—Conventional wisdom is that a team’s ace would be the starter in a winner-take-all championship game. Instead, Arizona went with the lefty-on-lefty matchup against Texas Tech and Big 12 Pitcher of the Year NiJaree Canady in the Big 12 Championship title game. It didn’t work out. The Wildcats fell behind 4-0 in the second and could never make inroads against Canaday, who struck out eight while allowing just two hits and two walks.

Photo by Ryan Kelapire It’s the time of the softball season when you dance with the one who brought you. Teams who choose not to, like Arizona State in its semifinal against Texas Tech, can pay dearly. It would be unlikely if the Wildcats or the Red Raiders made such a choice in the 2025 Big 12 Softball Championship final on Saturday morning. Big 12 Player of the Year Devyn Netz brought Arizona. Big 12 Pitcher of the Year NiJaree Canady brought Texas Tech.
