Looking ahead, Woodson remains humble, recognizing that the team's recent success is a result of collective contributions. Coach Davis believes that if Woodson continues to improve, her potential is limitless, praising her well-rounded skills, rebounding prowess, fast-break capabilities, and proficiency in free-throw shooting, making her a formidable and versatile player.
