ABOUT
Arizona standouts Janelle Meono and Sharlize Palacios have entered the NCAA’s transfer portal, sources confirmed to Extra Inning Softball on Friday.
Palacios, a true junior during the 2022 season, has two years of eligibility remaining. During the 2022 season, she finished fifth on the Wildcats’ roster with a .326 batting average, notching 20 home runs and a team-leading 64 RBIs.
During the Cats’ impressive postseason run, Palacios was one of the team’s more consistent hitters. She recorded at least one base hit in all but two games during the NCAA tournament and notched three home runs and eight RBIs along the way.
Meono spent a significant portion of the 2022 season out with an injury; despite not playing from March 3 to April 23, she collected a .291 batting average in 117 at-bats and recorded 23 runs scored, four stolen bases, and a .661 OPS.
Also a true junior during the 2022 season, Meono has two years of eligibility remaining.
With the departure of the two offensive stalwarts, the UA offense still boasts the return of their four leading hitters, including All-American Allie Skaggs.
