the Bruins have earned the honor. UCLA advanced to the Women's College World Series while posting their first back-to-back, 50-win seasons since 2002-2003. Walker

left Oregon State as the all-time winningest coach in program history and the fifth-winningest in school history regardless of sport. During that time, he posted

nearly 600 wins while leading the Beavers to the postseason 10 times.

A four-time NCAA First Team All-American (one year at the University

of Washington, three at Cal State Fullerton), Topping was also a member of Team USA’s famed 2004 Olympic gold-medal squad.

Appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated, Team USA was dubbed the “Real Dream Team” by the magazine after outscoring its opponents 51-1 in nine

games. Topping and her teammates were inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame in 2012. After the Athens Olympics, the former catcher moved on to the professional

ranks becoming a National Pro Fastpitch champion and all-star selection for the Akron Racers in 2005. She then played two seasons in Japan for Toyota Shokki before

eventually founding Jenny Topping Softball training in California.
