“I’m most proud my girls are getting closer to each other,” Arizona Rising coach Rob Westover said. “This team is full of talented athletes, but what’s most important to me is the team is really starting to jell well. The closer we are as a team, the more dangerous we are as a whole. Even the girls that didn’t get to see the time on the field as much as others played a big role this weekend. We have a very strong pitching staff and some pretty darn good hitters. Our defense, as a whole, was really strong. Our fielding percentage wasn’t to shabby with .939 and we outscored our opponents 45 runs to 8 runs allowed.”
