The league rankings have Wenig fourth in scoring (13.9 points per game), assists (66), three-pointers (34) and free throw shooting (83 percent). She is making 39 percent of her three-point attempts and averaging 3.0 rebounds per contest.

On Jan. 26, Wenig eclipsed 1,000 career points when she tallied 19 during a victory over UW-La Crosse. She posted season-highs with 20 points and seven rebounds in a win at Marian University. Wenig dished out a career-high eight assists in a triumph over UW-Stout.

UW-Eau Claire's Sarah Bingea and UW-Superior's Connie Urmanski joined Wenig on the Academic All-District Team. The other two members from Michigan, Minnesota or Wisconsin were Jessica Fife of Northwestern College (Minn.) and Carissa Verkaik of Calvin College (Mich.).
