After coming back from the loser’s bracket, Coach Candrea and his Wildcats defended their title and defeated the Tennessee Lady Vols.

Taryne Mowett threw every inning of this world series and took her team to the championship game and let her offense do the rest.

In the bottom of the 5th inning Jenae Leles hit a shot to center to bring in the first 2 runs of the game followed by a Chelsie Mesa 3 run homer giving the Wildcats a 5-0 lead.

With only 2 at bats left, despite a bases loaded situation in the 6th, the Lady Vols couldn’t answer back.  The game ended with a grounder to third and a Wildcats celebration.  Taryne Mowett was named the MVP of the series.

Congrats to Coach Candrea and the Arizona Wildcats.

Congratulations to all the teams that advanced to the College Softball World Series at the Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City!

The NCAA is an acronym I will be hearing a lot over the next few years. Incase your wondering what it means, it stands for National Collegiate Athletic Association. The website is a must for any student-athlete wanting to play sports in a D1 or D2 college. Anything you need to know about eligibility rules and recruiting is on their website.

Registering online was very easy. Basically you’ll need your social security number along with a credit card to pay the $50 fee (There is also an option to pay by check). All the other information they ask for you should already know. It took about 20 minutes.

A few things to remember before you register:

They’ll ask you for your graduation date, so knowing that in advance would be good.
You will need an email address that cannot change. If you change your email address you‘ll have to re-register and don’t forget your password! If you lose your log-in info, you’ll have to fax something to them to get your ID and password.
You’ll have to fill out a questionnaire determining your ‘amateur status’. They will ask you things like: Have you been paid to play? Do you have an agent? Stuff like that.

It is recommended that you sign up before your Junior year.

You can contact the NCAA Clearinghouse at 877-262-1492 or go to their website here.

The NCAA Division 1 Management Council voted on Tuesday to ban text messaging as a form of communication between a college recruiter and a prospective student-athlete.  Overall, student-athletes were not happy with the amount of text messages they received and they felt it was intrusive and sometimes a financial burden.

While sending text messages in now prohibited, emails are still acceptable.
