Imagine a softball squad that boasts the most prodigious home-run hitter in NCAA history and yet it is another teammate, on the cusp of her own record-setting season, named the top player in the country.<\/p>\n

UCLA senior first baseman Jordan Woolery has been honored as Softball America\u2019s National Player of the Year, the outlet announced Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

Woolery is hitting .506 with 34 home runs and a program-record 111 RBIs. No player in NCAA Division I history has hit above .500 with at least 30 home runs and 100 RBIs in a season.<\/p>\n

She and the Bruins are coming off a 3-0 record in the NCAA Los Angeles Regional \u2014 surviving 12-11 after a wildly improbable comeback to defeat California Baptist on Friday; knocking off South Carolina 7-2 in the semifinal Saturday; and then destroying the Gamecocks 15-1 in Sunday\u2019s final.<\/p>\n

UCLA (50-8) will host Central Florida (41-17-1), which stunned ninth-ranked Florida State to advance out of the Tallahassee Regional, in this weekend\u2019s NCAA Los Angeles Super Regional. The first game of the best-of-three series is at 6 p.m. Friday at Easton Stadium. Game 2 is scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday, with an if-necessary Game 3 on Sunday at a time to be determined.<\/p>\n

Woolery\u2019s 34 homers this season, tied for fifth most in NCAA history, trail only teammate Megan Grant, who has surpassed Lauren Espinoza\u2019s 31-year-old record of 37 homers with 40 round-trippers, and Oklahoma\u2019s Kendall Wells (37). Woolery ranks second in the nation behind Grant in slugging percentage (1.191) and OPS (1.794).<\/p>\n

The four-time all-conference first-teamer \u2013 two in the Pac-12, two in the Big Ten \u2013 is second all-time with 111 RBIs and 212 total bases this season. Espinoza, the former Arizona star, set both marks with 128 RBIs and 232 total bases in 1995.<\/p>\n

Woolery, who attended Clayton Valley Charter High in Concord, adds to her list of accomplishments this season: Big Ten Player of the Year, First Team All-Big Ten and NFCA All-West Region. She is also a Top 10 finalist for the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year award for the second year in a row.<\/p>\n
