Wake Forest Women’s Basketball Overview
Wake Forest has a balance of returning production and newcomers on its 2026-27 roster, led by six letterwinners – Mary CarterAurora Sørbye, Opal Bird, Madisyn Jordan Grace Galbavy and Savannah Metcalfe.

Starting as a forward, Carter was the second leading scorer for the team this past winter, averaging 11.0 points per game during her first year in Winston-Salem. The Rocklin, Calif., native also led the Deacs in three-pointers made (70) and free throw percentage (.864). Sørbye paced the team in both total assists (95) and assists per game as a sophomore (3.0) while appearing in all 32 contests and adding 7.2 points a night. Bird had an immediate first-year impact, tying with Carter as the team leader in blocks (21) while also ranking second among ACC freshmen in assists per game (2.8). Jordan and Galbavy provided valuable depth for the team as perimeter pieces while Metcalfe made 14 appearances as a freshman before her season was cut short due to injury.

The Deacs have also added six newcomers on scholarship to its roster – Oshauna Holland, Adora Nwude, Helena Danielewicz, Breauna Ware, Ramiyah Byrd and Mckenzie Swanson.

Holland, the all-time leading scorer in North Carolina high school girls basketball history, enters her freshman season as a versatile backcourt piece. Fellow first-year Nwude brings athleticism at the guard spot, having been a 1,000-point scorer for the Bullis School Bulldogs that made the 2026 Chipotle National Championship game. Rounding out Wake’s freshmen core, Danielewicz is coming off a standout summer with the Poland FIBA U-18 team at the Women’s EuroBasket 2026.

Ware holds strong experience through her collegiate career, with stops at Wisconsin, Stony Brook and St. Bonaventure. The scoring guard made 25 appearances for the Badgers last season and shot over 38 percent from three-point distance. Byrd has spent the last three seasons at Cincinnati as one of the team’s top rebounders, playing in 29 games during 2025-26. Swanson, providing depth as a forward, was a member of the Butler Bulldogs’ program for the past two years.
