Bahl Garners NFCA Player of the Week Honors

Nebraska softball junior Jordy Bahl was named the NFCA Co-Player of the Week after an impressive performance on both sides of the ball at the Troy Cox Classic last weekend. 

 

Bahl helped the Huskers to five run-rule victories in New Mexico, most notably with a no-hitter against Northern Colorado, when she did not allow a ball out of the infield. It was the fourth of her career, the 41st in school history and the first since Sarah Harness in 2023. Bahl also started in the circle against NMSU and pitched 5.0 shutout innings, allowing only a pair of singles. She went 2-0 in her two appearances in the circle – both starts – and struck out 13 batters, while only walking two. 

 

At the plate, the Papillion, Neb., native was 10-for-16 (.625) with nine extra-base hits, four doubles, four home runs, one triple, nine runs scored and nine RBIs. Bahl averaged 2.0 hits, 1.8 extra-base hits, 1.8 runs and 1.8 RBIs per game. On the first day of the tournament, Bahl went 4-for-6 with a double, three home runs, four runs and four RBIs against Texas A&M Corpus-Christi and host New Mexico State, including her first career multi-homer game against the Aggies. On day two, Bahl went 2-for-6 at the plate with one double, one home run, two runs scored and four RBIs. Bahl concluded the tournament going 4-for-4 with a single, two doubles and a triple against Montana with one RBI and three runs scored. She had a career-high four hits against the Griz and also set career highs with two doubles and one triple and tied her career high with three runs and three extra-base hits.

 

The most recent Husker to win NFCA Player of the Week was Taylor Edwards in 2019. 

 

Bahl and the rest of the Huskers will continue their season on Thursday, Feb. 20 against Baylor at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic. The game is slated to start at 4:30 p.m. (CT) and will be streamed on FloSoftball. It can also be heard for free across the Huskers Radio Network.
