The native of Medellín, Colombia checks in at #7 in the latest version of the PCPI. Woods (#14 in the PCPI) has been a consistent and versatile force in the Wichita State lineup, placing in the top 10 of 10 different statistical categories. The junior was at her best in traditional matches, where her 81.4% of 9+ first ball ranked fourth in the country and her 97.1% single pin spare percentage was fifth.
