She picked up an at-bat against Manhattan, Siena, Marist, and Monmouth in addition to the two free passes she earned in both ends of a doubleheader against Siena. She starts the week with a .333 on-base percentage.

2020: Wilson spent most of her first season in the pitching circle, pitching in eight games. She tossed 15.1 innings with her season long stint lasting 5.2 innings in a setback to Elon College. The pitcher fanned a season-high five batters in that game, giving up four earned runs. She struck out 12 hitters in 15.1 innings pitched which translates into 5.5 strikeouts per seven innings. She also fanned multiple hitters against UNC-Greensboro (2 in two innings) and Purdue (2 in three innings). Wilson allowed one run or less in four of her eight outings.

Before Fairfield: Wilson joined Fairfield after a successful career at Cypress High School, helping the program win its first championship in nearly 20 years with a 2-1 win over South Torrance in the title game. She tossed a four-hitter in that game, a 2-1 decision, which was her fifth postseason appearance in the tournament. Wilson did not allow more than one run in five postseason games which helped her finish the campaign with a 16-4 overall record as a senior. She ended her final season at Cypress with a 1.79 ERA, a mark aided by the fact that she walked just seven htiters in 137 innings pitched. She also played with the Monarchs Gold in addition to her time with Cypress.
