In Wofford’s 71-67 win at UNC Wilmington on Saturday, Wanink scored a career-high 26 points, all of which came in the first three quarters of regulation, and tied her career high with 10 rebounds, giving Wanink her second double-double of the season. The sophomore guard then led a Wofford comeback Monday night after the Terriers trailed by 11 points late in the first quarter at the Buc Dome in Charleston, S.C.
