Arizona made the postseason for the 2nd straight season and were placed in the West Regional hosted by the University of Southern California at Dedeaux Field in Los Angeles, California. The Wildcats lost back-to-back games to Pepperdine and USC to end their season. This marked the final season that the program played night games at the off-campus Hi Corbett Field, as lighting was installed at their main stadium Wildcat Field midway through the season.
