Wilson was a first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection in 1988, and ended her career with 1,551 career points and 741 career rebounds. She received an undergraduate degree in Radio, Television, and Motion Pictures from UNC in 1988. Wilson also played professionally in Australia for the Melbourne Tigers. In addition to playing for the Tigers, Wilson worked in the Public and Media Relations Office and was responsible for organizing sponsorship luncheons, serving as the team's spokesperson, and related public relations functions.
