Few things exemplified the heart of a champion more than Julie Adams' performance at the 1999 Women's College World Series, where she was named the Most Outstanding Player despite dislocating her left shoulder in the Bruins' opening game. Adams gutted through the injury and hit .667 in the tournament, driving in two RBI in the 3-2 championship game victory over Washington. She was a two-time All-American, four-time All-Pac-10 selection and the Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year in 1996. Adams finished her career hitting .353 with 40 home runs, 166 RBI, 31 doubles, 116 runs scored and 95 walks and ranked in the Top 10 all-time in RBI, walks and home runs. A three-year U.S. National Team member and a National Pro Fastpitch player in 2000, Adams went on to earn a Masters in Athletic Administration and is currently an assistant principal at Bellflower High School.
