Addisen Fisher Named Big Ten Freshman of the Week
March 31, 2025 | Softball
LOS ANGELES โ Right-handed pitcher Addisen Fisher on the No. 7-ranked UCLA softball team was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week, it was announced by the conference office Monday afternoon.
ย
This marks the Bruins' (32-5, 7-1 Big Ten) third weekly honor from the Big Ten Conference of the season and Fisher's first award of her career.
ย
Fisher threw the first no-hitter of her collegiate career at Howard last Wednesday, March 26, going 5.0 innings while striking out six and allowing only two baserunners (one walk and one fielding error). Fisher did not let a ball leave the infield, recording six strikeouts and nine groundouts.
ย
Over UCLA's perfect 4-0 week, Fisher led the pitching staff with two wins (2-0), two complete games, 11.0 innings pitched, 11 strikeouts and three appearances. Fisher, the reigning Gatorade Softball National Player of the Year from Bend, Ore., earned the sweep-clinching win over Maryland in game three on March 30, allowing just one run and striking out five over her 5.0-inning complete game effort.
ย
Fisher improved her record on the season to 11-0. She is the only freshman in NCAA Division I Softball and one of 14 total pitchers to sport a flawless record (min. seven wins). She ranks second on UCLA's staff with a 2.16 earned run average, 11 wins and 68.0 innings pitched.
ย
Fisher and the Bruins return home to Easton Stadium this week for four games, highlighted by a top-25 series versus No. 22 Ohio State on April 4-5. Action begins with two games on Tuesday, April 1 versus CSUN at 4:30 p.m. (PT) and UC San Diego at 7 p.m.
