WOODS IS ENJOYING A BREAKOUT SEASON IN HER JUNIOR YEAR. SHE IS AVERAGING A
TEAM-HIGH 14 POINTS, WHICH IS ALSO FOURTH IN THE ATLANTIC 10 CONFERENCE. HER
SCORING AVERAGE IS ALMOST DOUBLE OF WHAT HER SOPHOMORE OUTPUT OF 7.8 POINTS WAS
FROM LAST SEASON.
Woods is also averaging 3.7 rebounds a game while shooting 70 percent from the
free throw line. This talented young lady is really starting to come into her
own as a college player. With the early graduation of leading scorer Theresa
Lisch after last season, Woods has emerged as one of the Billikens’ primary
offensive threats with her versatility and athleticism.
For her career, Woods has scored 753 points in her three seasons. She should
easily pass the 1,000-point mark next season as she gradually moves up the list
of career scorers at SLU.
A 2007 graduate of Belleville East, Woods was an All Southwestern Conference
player and All-State performer. Woods and current SLU teammate Amanda Kemezys
led Belleville East to a berth in the IHSA Class AA Supersectionals.
