Junior Bubba Nickles from the UCLA softball team has been named the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for May 13-19.
Nickles recorded a pair of five-RBI games in the Los Angeles Regional, matching single-game career highs in the category, as the Bruins defeated Missouri to advance to Super Regionals. Nickles was 7-for-15 (.467) with a pair of homers, 11 RBI, six runs and four doubles in four games. After going 2-for-4 in Friday's win over Weber State, Nickles hit a pair of home runs for the third time in her career on Saturday versus Missouri, driving in five on a solo homer and a grand slam. She saw her 21-game hitting streak come to an end in Sunday's first game versus Missouri, but she came right back with three hits and five RBI on a bases-clearing double and a two-run single.
This is Nickles' first UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week award this season and in her career.
Also Nominated: Garrett Mitchell, Baseball.
