After a consistently dominant season where junior Dan Wheeler averaged 14.7 points per game, the swingman has not let up in the NESCAC and NCAA Tournaments. During the NCAA Tournament, Wheeler has averaged 20.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. In the Elite Eight game versus St. John Fisher College, Wheeler went on an absolute tear in the beginning of the second half, converting on his first four three-point attempts. He finished with 24 points on steller 7-13 shooting from behind the arc. In the upcoming Final Four, the Jeffs will look to Wheeler to provide the same kind of shooting accuracy in order capture the NCAA title.

In addition, she led her team in the 800-yard freestyle relay to a national title beating the nearest competitor by three seconds and solidifying the team's place in school history.
