Wheeler helped RIT to a fourth place finish, their best ever in 19 trips to the Wendy's College Classic last week. The sophomore forward averaged 12.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.6 blocks in three games. In the opening round game, Wheeler scored 17 points, grabbed nine rebounds, dished out eight assists and had three steals as RIT defeated St. John Fisher 62-60. Her bucket and free throw with 10 seconds remaining in regulation, gave the Tigers a two-point lead. Her steal on Fisher's next possession sealed the win for RIT and advanced the Tigers to the semifinals for the first time in 19 tries at the Wendy's Classic. In the semis versus Roberts Wesleyan, Wheeler tallied nine points and grabbed nine rebounds. She wrapped up the week with 11 points and 10 rebounds in the third place game versus William Smith. For the week, Wheeler shot 40.6 percent from the floor and was 11-of-13 (84.6%) from the foul line for the Tigers.
