No. 6 Softball Closes Dominant Week with 12-0 Win at LMU
March 09, 2025 | Softball
LOS ANGELES โ The No. 6-ranked UCLA softball team recorded its fourth mercy-rule victory of the week, defeating LMU 12-0 in five innings in a non-conference contest at Smith Field Sunday afternoon.
ย
The Bruins (23-4) finished the week 5-0 and outscored their opponents 51-6 over 28.0 innings. Junior Jordan Woolery was responsible for two of UCLA's three three-run homers in the game against the Lions (8-17). The performance marked Woolery's third career multi-homer game and second in as many weeks (last versus Utah on Feb. 28). Woolery improved her season home run total to a team-high 12, which bested her previous season high of 10 set during each her freshman and sophomore years.
ย
Woolery also set a new career high in runs batted in with six, surpassing her previous mark of five set last week. She leads UCLA with 43 RBI this season.
ย
"Coach Lisa (Fernandez) just tells us to get good pitches and I feel like that's the best mindset you can have going into each game," said Woolery about her approach at the plate. "If you get a good pitch to hit, that's the hardest part honestly โ not chasing the pitcher's pitches. And hitting it hard, too. For me, I saw that yesterday. I was hitting it hard but right at people, so surrendering to the process and trusting it today that I was going to get outcome eventually."
ย
UCLA has now homered in 10 consecutive games โ with 24 total homers in that span โ for the team's longest streak since 2021. The Bruins left the yard in 12 straight contests spanning from April through May that year.
ย
UCLA has totaled 44 blasts on the season for an average of 1.63 homers per game โ its best rate since UCLA's 2010 NCAA title year. All 10 Bruins who have hit a home run this season have done so multiple times, led by Woolery with 12 and Megan Grant with 10.
ย
Freshman Sofia Mujica went 2-for-3 with an RBI double and hit the first of UCLA's trio of three-run shots. The Bruins put together a two-out rally in the second inning to score the game's first runs. Left fielder Rylee Slimp sparked a string of four straight batters reaching base with a single up the middle. Slimp was brought home by Mujica's double that rolled to the wall. Mujica later scored from second base on Kaitlyn Terry's second two-bagger of the year, providing UCLA with an early 2-0 lead.
ย
Slimp finished the game 2-for-2 with two runs scored. She now leads UCLA with a .449 batting average (31-for-69) and is one of four Bruins hitting above a .400 clip this season. Slimp has recorded multiple base hits in five of her last nine games. ย
ย
The Shelly Carlin UCLA Head Softball Coach Kelly Inouye-Perez took a pitch-by-committee approach to today's ballgame, with Jada Cecil, Addisen Fisher and Terry all pitching at least 1.1 innings. The Bruins took a no-hitter into the fifth inning for a third time this week, and the second time against LMU. The Lions' leadoff hitter Sakora Harvell broke up the bid with a single to open the bottom of the fifth.
ย
Cecil, who started the game, did not allow a baserunner and struck out two in her 2.0 innings. Fisher, who was credited with her ninth win of the year (9-0), also struck out a pair and allowed a pair of walks in her 1.2 innings of relief. Terry closed in out in with three strikeouts against the six batters she faced.
ย
Mujica delivered more two-out damage in the bottom of the third with her homer out to left field to push the lead to 6-0. Freshman Kaniya Bragg plated a run earlier in the inning with a ball hit off the end of her bat that dribbled to second base for enough time to allow Savanah Pola at third base to score.
ย
Pola finished 2-for-3 with a team-high three runs scored. She ranks second behind Slimp with a .443 batting average (39-for-88) and is tied with Jessica Clements for the team lead with 13 multi-hit games.
ย
Woolery recorded each of UCLA's last two run-scoring hits with her three-run bombs in the fourth and fifth innings.
