Brady Named Student-Athlete of the Week, Presented by Ready
March 12, 2024 | Softball, Bruin Athletics
LOS ANGELES – Maya Brady of UCLA Softball has been selected the UCLA Student-Athlete of the Week, presented by Ready, for the week of Mar. 4-10.
The redshirt senior led UCLA with a .667 average (4-for-6), two home runs, eight RBI, 10 total bases and four walks in the Bruins' (14-6, 3-0) series sweep of Utah last week. Brady's best performance came in game three when she went 2-for-2 and tied her career high in RBI with six. In the second inning, Brady launched the fourth grand slam of her career on a 3-0 count to put the Bruins up, 7-1. She stepped the plate with the bases loaded again the very next inning, and with two outs, hit a hot shot to first base that skipped to the right field wall to clear the bases once more to put the mercy rule into effect. In game one, Brady opened the scoring with a two-run, opposite field homer on the first pitch of her at-bat. With her eight RBI, Brady moved into sixth place on UCLA's career RBI list with 205.
Brady secures her third-career UCLA student-athlete of the week award.
