Junior | 2001
One of Tiffany Woolley's greatest accomplishments came off the field last year. Woolley, a perfect 4.0 student, became the first Lady Razorback named first-team academic all-American since 1994. She is the first softball player to earn Verizon honors and the first Lady'Back named first-team on a team ballot. A Chancellor's Scholar, Woolley has maintained a perfect 4.00 GPA all seven semesters of enrollment at Arkansas. In addition to her second SEC Academic Honor Roll honor, Woolley was recognized for her play on the field as well, earning SEC All-Tournament honors in Chattanooga, Tenn. Woolley hit .308 and was perfect in the field at the SEC Tournament while playing third for the Lady'Backs. Woolley played several positions for Arkansas in 2001, seeing time in the outfield, at second, short and third. Look for her to solidify her starting lineup spot at third this season.

Sophomore | 2000
Woolley returned to the Arkansas lineup as the starting shortstop when the 2000 season began. Her season was progressing until she broke her right (glove) hand in the first of a four-game series against #19 Mississippi State at Lady'Back Yard March 31. Woolley would miss the next 15 games until another broken hand (Julie Young) forced her back into the lineup. Woolley had her cast trimmed, put a glove on (with doctor's approval) and resumed defensive action at #7 Louisiana State. She was finally allowed to hit at the SEC Tournament when the cast was completely removed. She was 2-for-9 in Columbus, Ga.

Freshman | 1999
Woolley stepped into the hot spot for the Lady Razorbacks taking over shortstop duties as a true freshman and held her own against some of the nation's best hitters. The 5-6 right-hander fielded .917 with 99 putouts and a team-best 177 assists while playing in all 75 of Arkansas' contests. Woolley began her college career on a 17-game hitting streak and finished the year hitting .278 -- third best on the team. Woolley also finished the season ranked among the conference leaders leading the way in sacrifice bunts (17) and ranking sixth in plate appearances (246) in all games.

HIGH SCHOOL: While at Bishop Kelley, Woolley was a four-time Metro Lakes Conference pick, earning Freshman of the Year honors in 1994 and co-player of the year honors as a senior. In addition, she was an all-district and all-state pick at the shortstop position in her final season. In four seasons of play, Woolley hit .342 with 189 hits, 17 doubles, 50 RBI and 77 stolen bases. She set school records for career swiped bags (77) and for a single-season with 36 as a senior. In addition, she holds the school marks for career at bats (553) and career hits (189). In addition to high school ball, Woolley played for the Tulsa Blazers Club Team, guiding the team to the Metro League title and a ninth-place showing at nationals in California in 1998. During her four years with the Blazers, Woolley hit .357 capped off by a .405 performance as a sophomore. She fielded .922 in her career.

PERSONAL: Born May 24, 1980, Tiffany Lynn Woolley is the youngest daughter of Rodney and Judy Woolley of Tulsa, Okla. She has two older sisters, Michelle, and Kim, and is an accounting major.
