Kaitlyn Terry does not like Jordan Woolery. The college softball pitcher at Texas Tech did not hold back her thoughts on her former UCLA teammate.

She publicly bashed the Bruins slugger.

This latest college softball beef stems from a crucial moment at the Women’s College World Series. It is unclear as to whether there was an underlying tension between these two athletes prior to this past season.

Kaitlyn Terry played two seasons with Jordan Woolery.

Terry committed to UCLA out of Greenway High School in Glendale, Arizona. She was named as the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year in 2024 and selected to the All-Pac-12 First Team in her first season. The 5-foot-6 left-handed pitcher recorded a 2.38 ERA and 161 strikeouts in 182 innings pitched and led the Bruins with a 21-3 record. Her sophomore season was just as dominant.

Jordan Woolery was already on campus in Westwood when Kaitlyn Terry arrived. The California-native joined the Bruins in 2023 out of Clayton Valley Charter High School and was also named as the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year that season. She later was named as the Big Ten Player of the Year and the Softball America National Player of the Year as a senior in 2026. The 5-foot-10 infielder started every single game for UCLA during her four-year career and hit .412 with 182 runs scored and 285 RBIs.

Needless to say, Terry and Woolery were a dominant duo on the same team in 2024 and 2025. UCLA went 95-19 during that stretch and won the conference in both seasons.

And then Terry transferred to Texas Tech.

The Red Raiders finished as the national runners-up in 2025 and 2026. The Bruins finished in fifth place at the Women’s College World Series in 2025 and sixth in 2026. Neither team won it all but Terry had more success than Woolery. I would be curious to know how far they could get together.

College softball beef!

Kaitlyn Terry pitched 149.1 innings for Texas Tech in 2026. She won 24 games with only three losses and recorded 172 strikeouts with an ERA of less than 2.00. Jordan Woolery hit .497 with 117 RBIs in 2026. She only struck out 12 times.

One of Woolery’s biggest hits of the season came off of Terry’ teammate, Nija Canady, in the Women’s College World Series.

The senior slugger stepped into the box with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning. College softball only plays seven innings so she was down to her last out. There was one runner on base. UCLA trailed by two runs.

Woolery mashed a monster home run to tie the game. She held up her hands and looked back at the dugout in celebration before she rounded the bases.

Her behavior did not go over well with many college softball fans. They don’t like how she is always trying to keep the attention on herself. Her opponents did not appreciate it either. Terry reposted the above video on TikTok, which includes the caption: “nah cause there aint another college softball player i cant stand more.”
