Senior (2008):

Wilkerson earned the first postseason honors of her career, as the senior was named to the NSCAA/Adidas All-South Region Second Team, and the all-University Athletic Association (UAA) First Team, based on her performance in goal during the 2008 season.  She finished the year ranked third in the conference with a 0.82 goals-against average in UAA matches.  Starting all 21 games in goal for Emory, and playing all but 135 minutes at the position, Wilkerson's 0.544 overall GAA was the 23rd-lowest in Division III in 2008, and the eighth-lowest single season average in school history.  Her 16 wins (16-4-1 overall record) are the second highest single season total in school history, and Wilkerson's nine shutouts during the campaign are the third-most.  Wilkerson will end her Emory career fourth in school history in career goals-against average (0.55), wins (22), and shutouts (11).  For her work in the classroom, in addition to her work on the pitch, Wilkerson was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District Second Team.

Junior (2007):

Wilkerson played in seven games for Emory during the 2007, making five starts during the year.  She finished the year with a perfect 5-0-0 record and a 0.92 goals against average in 490 minutes.  The junior recorded back-to-back shutouts in her first two games of the season, over Maryville University (Mo.) and Lynchburg College (Va.).

Sophomore (2006):

Wilkerson played in parts of four games for the Eagles, coming off the bench in each.  The sophomore goalkeeper recorded one win during the season, the first of her career, coming against Greensboro College (N.C.) in a 2-0 Emory win.  Wilkerson made one save in 149:11 minutes in goal.
