Megan Bloodworth is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Athlete of the Week

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama softball freshman second base Megan Bloodworth is the BamaCentral Crimson Tide Athlete of the Week for the week of Feb. 7-13, 2022.

Bloodworth was forced to be reckoned with for Alabama's offense this past week at the Candrea Classic in Arizona. Over the four-game span for the Crimson Tide, Bloodworth batted 6-for-10 with seven RBI and three home runs.

Bloodworth started things off on Friday against Southern Utah, where she batted 2-for-3 with two runs, five RBI and two home runs. In the first game of the day on Saturday against Oregon State, she continued her success with another 2-for-3 day, hitting another home run and recording a run and an RBI.

In the second game on Saturday against the tournament host, No. 9 Arizona, Bloodworth batted 1-for-2 with a run. In the series finale against New Mexico, she concluded her week by hitting 1-for-2 with a triple and an RBI.

Thanks in part to Bloodworth's contributions, Alabama outscored its opponents 35-4 and began the season with a 4-0 record.
