Move to UA was just what pitcher O'Toole needed
When Arizona begins the 2016 softball season Feb. 11 at Hillenbrand Stadium, it’s likely that junior transfer Danielle O’Toole will be the opening day pitcher. She won 31 games at San Diego State in 2014 and then sat out last season after transferring to Arizona. O’Toole last week told flosoftball.com her move to Arizona was prompted more by academics than softball. “I was uncomfortable with the setting at San Diego State,” she said. “It had nothing to do with softball. Academically, I didn’t want to be on campus; it didn’t feel homey like it’s supposed to in college. I didn’t enjoy my experience so I wanted a change.” That’s a change from the typical sports transfer, whose departure is almost always connected to a lack of playing time.
