Alicia Hollowell Hometown: Suisun, Calif. High School: Fairfield HS Last College: Arizona (2007) Position: Director of Operations at Arizona: First year

Former Wildcat All-American Alicia Hollowell joined the staff in August 2011 as the program's director of operations.

Much of Hollowell's responsibilities will include the direction of the program's video efforts, including recording and breakdown of practice footage and opponent scouting. She also will handle a wealth of office duties, recruiting correspondence, community service coordination and scheduling and team travel. She will not have on-field coaching responsibilities.

"Alicia gives us another resource and great mind in getting our team ready to compete," said Candrea. "We're fortunate to have her back. Her expertise in the video area will free us up to do more coaching. This is a position I've wanted for many, many years."

Hollowell, a Wildcat letterwinner from 2003-06, was a four time All-American who is the school's career leader in victories (134), innings pitched (1,122.0) and strikeouts (1,768).

She finished her career with the top three single-season strikeout totals in school history and the top two single-season tallies for victories. In her career, Hollowell was named Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week 14 times and threw 17 no-hitters, capping her career by leading Arizona to the 2006 national championship and earning Women's College World Series Most-Outstanding-Player honors.

She earned Pac-10 Pitcher-of-the-Year honors in 2004 and Newcomer-of-the-Year kudos in 2003.

Hollowell was named Arizona's top female student-athlete in 2006.

A native of Suisun, Calif., Hollowell was a member of the U.S. national team from 2005-08, winning two World Cup titles, the 2007 Pan American Games gold medal and serving as an alternate on the 2008 Olympic squad.

She earned her undergraduate degree at Arizona in 2007 while serving as a graduate assistant to Candrea.
