Woolery Wins Fourth Big Ten Player of the Week Award
April 20, 2026 | Softball
ROSEMONT, Ill. – Senior infielder Jordan Woolery on the No. 9 UCLA softball team earned her fourth Big Ten Player of the Week award this season, the conference office announced Monday afternoon.
Woolery joins Stacey Nuveman (1999) as the only Bruins to win four conference player of the week awards in the same season. No other Big Ten student-athlete has won player of the week more than twice this season.
Woolery had a record-setting week, going 11-for-15 with seven home runs, including three separate two-homer games, and 16 RBIs across UCLA's four wins over California Baptist, Long Beach State and California. Woolery posted a pair of two-homer performances on the same day in UCLA's double-header sweep of California on Saturday, finishing 6-for-7 with four home runs, 10 RBIs and five runs scored.
Woolery's two home runs in Game 2 against Cal pushed her season total to 30. She and Megan Grant became the first teammates in NCAA Division I history to each hit 30 or more home runs in the same season. Woolery's 10-RBI day on Saturday brought her to the century mark for the season, making her the fifth player in NCAA Division I history to record a 100-RBI campaign.
Woolery opened the week by going 3-for-3 with her first of three two-homer performances against California Baptist on Tuesday. The next day, she went 2-for-5 with a grand slam at Long Beach State, helping the Bruins tie the program single-game record for runs scored with 27.
The weekend ended in ceremonious fashion with Woolery, Grant and Taylor Tinsley each being awarded a golden ticket by the Athletes Unlimited Softball League (AUSL) after the conclusion of UCLA's double-header versus California.
Woolery and the Bruins return to action this weekend with a three-game series at No. 23 Washington from April 24-26. Games 1 (7 p.m. PT) and 2 (3 p.m. PT) of the series will be televised on Big Ten Network.

Woolery's first blast in Game 1 against the Golden Bears was a three-run shot that broke UCLA's single-season program record of 91 RBIs, previously set by Nuveman in 1999. Her second homer of the day marked UCLA's 148th of the season, breaking the Big Ten single-season team home run record set by Ohio State last year. Woolery finished Game 1 4-for-4 with a career-high seven RBIs, which is tied for third-most in a single game in UCLA history. It was also the fourth three-hit game of her career.Unbelievable.
