Spotlight: Madeline and Cody Poteet

This week's UCLA "Spotlight" features women's basketball player Madeline Poteet and her husband, right-handed pitcher Cody Poteet from UCLA's baseball team..

The Bruin pair were married this past August on campus with members from both Bruin teams in attendance. While not the only current UCLA student-athletes married, they are the royal Bruin couple as they are the only Bruin student-athletes married to another student-athlete.

Madeline Poteet is a senior guard, averaging 1.4 points and 1.0 assists per game and is third on the team in three-point field goal shooting (38.5 percent). Cody Poteet is a junior with a team-best 1.29 ERA and a 2-0 record in 2015.

The women's basketball team is at the Pac-12 Tournament this week and faces Arizona in the first round on Thursday, Mar. 5 at 2:00 p.m. on the Pac-12 Networks. The baseball team hosts Vanderbilt on Friday, Mar. 6 at 6:00 p.m. at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
