Jada Cooper is becoming GCU’s one-woman run production machine
In the 2026 season, Grand Canyon UTIL Jada Cooper has been a middle-order force, finishing the regular season with a team-best .379 average, 14 home runs, 57 RBIs, and a GCU-record 45 walks; she also posted a .556 on-base percentage and ranked among the Lopes’ all-time Division I home-run leaders. The fun part? She doesn’t just mash — she grinds at-bats, gets on base, and punishes mistakes, which is exactly the kind of competitive, high-impact bat that changes a lineup’s ceiling.
