Carranco Joins Softball Staff as Volunteer Assistant

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas softball head coach Courtney Deifel has announced the addition of All-American and former Arizona Wildcat standout Reyna Carranco as the program’s volunteer assistant coach.

“We’re so excited about this addition to our staff,” said Deifel. “Reyna will bring a fresh perspective, and I’m looking forward to adding her energy into the mix. Her playing experience speaks for itself having played for the University of Arizona and its championship tradition. Reyna is a proven winner and competitor, and I cannot wait to welcome her insight into our coaching room. She will elevate our program in every possible way.”

In a prolific five-year career at Arizona, Carranco earned NFCA Second Team All-American honors and became the program’s first-ever Pac-12 Batting Champion (.433 regular season average) in 2019.

Carranco guided the Wildcats to two Women’s College World Series during her junior (2019) and senior (2021) seasons and to two Super Regionals during her freshman (2017) and sophomore (2018) campaigns. As a freshman, Carranco helped the Wildcats clinch a Pac-12 title.

“I’m beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to be a part of such an amazing program,” said Carranco. “The Arkansas Razorback family is truly one of a kind, embedded with phenomenal student-athletes, coaches, and fans. I’m thankful to Coach Deifel and the entire coaching staff for their trust and this amazing opportunity. I look forward to starting this journey together towards our championship goals.”
