Woolery Repeats as UCLA Student-Athlete of the Week
May 28, 2025 | Softball, Bruin Athletics
LOS ANGELES โ Junior Jordan Woolery of UCLA Softball has been selected the Student-Athlete of the Week for competitions held between May 20-26.
ย
With UCLA on the brink of elimination and down to its final out of the season, Woolery hit a 2-run walk-off home run to defeat South Carolina in game two of Super Regionals last Saturday. Woolery's homer capped a miracle four-run rally to surmount a 4-1 deficit for the largest seventh-inning comeback in UCLA postseason history. Woolery entered that at-bat 0-for-6 with four strikeouts up to that point in the series. She went first-pitch swinging after a pitching change made by the Gamecocks and hammered the ball for her 23rd homer of the season.
ย
Thanks to Woolery's heroics, UCLA forced an "if necessary" game on Sunday and went on to shutout South Carolina, 5-0, to punch its ticket to an NCAA-record 33rd Women's College World Series. Woolery drove in the Bruins' first two runs in the decisive game three with two separate RBI base knocks.
ย
The junior secures her fifth-career UCLA student-athlete of the week award, the third of her 2025 campaign.
