SAN FRANCISCO - Redshirt freshman Aaliyah Jordan was named Pac-12 Conference Freshman of the Week for the fourth time this season on Monday, recording hits, runs batted in and runs scored in all four Bruin victories last week.

Jordan went 7-for-15 (.467) for the week with seven RBI, six runs and two doubles. She opened the week with four RBI on March 26 against Oregon State, posting a pair of two-run singles in the first and second innings. Jordan added two hits, including an RBI double which proved to be the game-winning RBI, in the March 29 series opener at Utah. After posting another RBI double and two walks in game two against the Utes, Jordan had two hits, including an RBI single, and scored three times in the series finale.

Jordan leads the Bruins in batting average (.490) and runs batted in (46), ranking fourth and fifth, respectively, in the national rankings in those categories. She also has a team-best 12 doubles, is second with 16 walks and tied for second with 35 runs scored.

Jordan's Freshman of the Week award is the 11th in UCLA history in just the fourth year of the award's existence and fifth this season, as Briana Perez earned the honor on Feb. 13. Jordan's previous three FOW nods came on Feb. 20, Feb. 27 and March 13.

The Bruins open a four-game homestand on Tuesday when they host CSUN at 6 p.m. Free live audio will be available at UCLABruins.com.
