Former Oklahoma softball star Jocelyn Alo has signed with Athletes Unlimited for its AUX season in June.
Alo is a two-time USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year who helped Oklahoma win two national titles. She plays for the Oklahoma City Spark, but Spark owner Tina Floyd agreed to her playing for Athletes Unlimited.
“Athletes Unlimited is where the world’s best professional athletes compete, and few have lit up the softball field more in recent years than Jocelyn Alo, so I’m thrilled to officially welcome her to our family,” Cheri Kempf, Athletes Unlimited’s senior vice president and director of softball, said in the announcement Wednesday.
Athletes Unlimited has two seasons — AUX and its regular season. Alo has agreed to play only in the AUX season, which will last 18 games from June 10 through June 25 at Wichita State University’s Wilkins Stadium. The league will include 42 players who will accumulate points during the season as they compete for an individual championship right after the Women’s College World Series.
Athletes Unlimited is heading into its fifth regular season and third AUX season. All AUX games will be broadcast on the ESPN networks. Alo likes Athletes Unlimited’s stability and visibility in softball, and it drew her to want to join.
