The 5-foot-7 senior guard played a key role in two wins last week for the No. 6 Gators, including a 60-54 upset over Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference rival St. Frances. Nicknamed "Stixz," Wilson had 24 points, eight steals and three assists in the victory. She also had 10 points, five steals and five assists, as well as providing a critical calming influence for the Gators in a physical 47-43 victory over MATHS. Wilson, who has signed to play at Howard, missed much of last season when she was sidelined with a concussion early and then returned for a few games before suffering a broken nose. She played for the Maryland Select AAU team last summer and has a 2.85 GPA.
