He enjoyed his first collegiate complete game and tied his career-high in strikeouts, while facing 32 batters and only allowing the five singles, with seven ground-ball outs and seven fly-ball outs. Woodall is now 4-0 on the season with a 2.32 earned run average over 50.1 innings pitched with 53 strikeouts, and has limited opponents to a .189 batting average.

This is the fourth conference pitching award selection this season for the Tigers, including previous honorees sophomore Owen Tappy and junior Nic Graziano.
