On April 18, 2026, Megan Grant, Taylor Tinsley, and Jordan Woolery received their AUSL Golden Tickets together at UCLA. Less than two months later, on June 9, they officially began their professional softball careers, Grant with the Cascade and Tinsley & Woolery with the Talons. After facing her former UCLA teammates, Grant reflected on the full-circle moment during an AUSL post-game press conference. “Just seeing Jordan and Tins on the other side of the dugout, it kinda makes me emotional […] not wearing the Bruin blue, but still wearing a blue is nice. It’s just a full circle moment. I’m just so grateful to see them even though I’m not playing with them, just being able to play across from them, it’s just truly a gift.” A new chapter, but still connected through the game.
