Wendling notched 14 double-doubles over the course of the year. She is the ninth all-american honoree in program history and second since the school transitioned to the ranks of NCAA Division II. Over the course of her career, she has been named to the All-GLIAC First Team twice, All-GLIAC Second Team once and was named the 2012-13 GLIAC Freshman of the Year.

Saginaw Valley posted an overall record of 22-9 and racked-up a record 17 league victories in the program's best season since the 1987-88 campaign when the school competed at the NAIA level. The Cards' tournament-opening victory over Bellarmine was also the second-ever win in the NCAA postseason tourney.
