This comes off the heels of being named the Sunshine State Conference Offensive Player of the Week on Monday.

In a win at #6 Tampa, Wood delivered a game-high six points with five goals and an assist, including the game-winner, while going a perfect 3-for-3 on free-position attempts. She followed with a four-point performance in a comeback victory at #4 Embry-Riddle, scoring two goals with two assists and adding five draw controls to help fuel a seven-goal run that turned an 11-7 deficit into a 14-12 win.
Across the week, Wood averaged 5.0 points per game, shot 58.3 percent from the field, placed 66.7 percent of her shots on goal, and added six draw controls, leading the Lions against top-five competition.
