Athlete of the Week Presented by La Victoria

LOS ANGELES – Senior Jordan Woolery of UCLA Softball has been selected as the Student-Athlete of the Week presented by La Victoria for athletic competitions held between April 14-20.

Woolery had a record-setting week, going 11-for-15 with seven home runs, including three separate two-homer games, and 16 RBIs across UCLA's four wins over California Baptist, Long Beach State and California. Woolery posted a pair of two-homer performances on the same day in UCLA's double-header sweep of California on Saturday, finishing 6-for-7 with four home runs, 10 RBIs and five runs scored. Woolery's first blast in Game 1 against the Golden Bears was a three-run shot that broke UCLA's single-season program record of 91 RBIs, previously set by Stacey Nuveman in 1999. Her second homer of the day marked UCLA's 148th of the season, breaking the Big Ten single-season team home run record set by Ohio State last year. Woolery finished Game 1 4-for-4 with a career-high seven RBIs, which is tied for third-most in a single game in UCLA history. It was also the fourth three-hit game of her career.

Woolery's two home runs in Game 2 against Cal pushed her season total to 30. She and Megan Grant became the first teammates in NCAA Division I history to each hit 30 or more home runs in the same season. Woolery's 10-RBI day on Saturday brought her to the century mark for the season, making her the fifth player in NCAA Division I history to record a 100-RBI campaign. Woolery opened the week by going 3-for-3 with her first of three two-homer performances against California Baptist on Tuesday. The next day, she went 2-for-5 with a grand slam at Long Beach State, helping the Bruins tie the program single-game record for runs scored with 27.

The infielder secures her sixth-career UCLA student-athlete of the week award.
