Clinic with the Pros - Taryne Mowatt
 After playing for the Washington Glory of the NPF in 2008, Mowatt signed this year to play on the PFX Tour. She concluded her collegiate career with 1,267 strikeouts, good for second best in Arizona history, and among the top 20 in NCAA annals. At the 2007 Women's College World Series she led the Wildcats to their second consecutive and eighth overall national softball title. That season she had 27 games in which she recorded double-digit strikeouts and threw three no-hitters en route to 42 victories and 522 strikeouts (both school records). Those numbers helped her win two ESPYs, one as outstanding collegiate athlete and another as outstanding female athlete. As a sophomore Mowatt hit a home run (her third of the year) in Game 1 of the 2006 Women's College World Series National Championship against Northwestern after hitting .290 for the season. Mowatt was selected to the WCWS All-Tournament Team that year after helping lead the Wildcats to their seventh national title.
Clinic with the Pros - Samantha Banister
 Banister played for the Akron Racers of National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) this past season after a standout career at Arizona in which she was a part of two national championship teams while playing multiple infield positions and serving as a designated player. As a senior she belted a career-best 16 home runs, including two in NCAA Tournament regional play, and 10 doubles to go along with a .526 slugging percentage. Banister batted over .300 in the 2007 Women’s College World Series, including a five-game hitting streak, and recorded back-to-back multi-hit games in the championship series against Monica Abbott, one of the top pitchers in the world. She was chosen by the NPF to represent the league at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in St. Louis this past summer.
