Nebraska softball junior Jordy Bahl earned three national honors for her performance last weekend at Washington. She was named an NFCA Player of the Week, along with the D1 Softball Player of the Week and a Softball America Star of the Week.

Bahl was also recognized as the Big Ten Player of the Week on Monday, her fifth weekly conference honor of the season.

Bahl notched a team-high .625 batting average across the Huskers’ three games against Washington last weekend. She reached base in seven of her eight trips to the plate, notching five hits and two walks. She knocked three home runs – one in the 12-8 win on Friday and two in the 6-0 win on Sunday. Sunday marked the second multi-homer game of her career. Bahl also added three runs and eight RBIs.

With her two home runs on Sunday, Bahl now has 34 extra-base hits on the season, which is one shy of tying the school record. She now has 55 runs on the season, which is tied for the seventh-highest total in school history.

On Friday, Bahl became the first player in Nebraska history to notch 15 doubles and 15 home runs in the same season. She also brought her RBI total above 50 for the season, making her the first Husker since Billie Andrews in 2022 to have 50+ runs, hits and RBIs in the same season.

Nebraska will take on the Maryland Terrapins from May 2-4. The weekend will mark NU’s fan appreciation weekend.
