Why are there two Ls in Allexis Bennett's first name?
Easy—because she makes "All" the catches.
The UCLA senior center fielder pulled off another incredible catch Monday against rival Arizona. Bennett dived in to rob the Wildcats' batter in the fourth inning of an eventual 8-7 win for the Bruins.

The terrific catch made ESPN SportsCenter's Top 10 and helped UCLA hold onto its No. 16 ranking against now-No. 20 Arizona.
It has been a career of catches like this for Bennett. The Corona, California, native has made the incredible look routine time after time in the Bruins outfield.
There was this one to her right last year:

And then this one, also from 2015, up against the wall:

Bennett has been doing it since she was a sophomore, when she helped UCLA to the Super Regionals against Kentucky.
This season, Bennett is back on the Team USA Top 25 list for the best collegiate softball player. She was recently drafted No. 8 overall by the Pennsylvania Rebellion of National Pro Fastpitch.
And, of course, she does it with the bat as well. Bennett is second in the Pac-12 in batting average (.437), first in runs scored (48) and second in total hits (62). She’s also among the leaders in the conference with 12 stolen bases.
There might be a pair of Ls in her first name, but Bennett has spelled nothing by Ws for UCLA over the last few years.
