Last January, FieldLevel announced that Salpointe Catholic centerfielder/catcher Molli Daley was on her way to join Arizona softball in the 2025 class. There was no official word from Daley herself, though. That is, not until Monday afternoon.
Daley announced that she would join the Wildcats’ class, which is due to sign in a few weeks. She will join INF Sinalei Talataina, C/3B Kezia Lucas, and RHP Rylie Holder in Arizona’s 2025 class. Tatalaina is the only one of the four ranked in Softball America’s top 100. She’s a four-star commit ranked No. 29 in the country by the outlet.
