Playing his final college season at Missouri Baptist after three years at Southwest Baptist, Woodfall sunk 62 points across three games to continue his side’s unbeaten run this season.
The six-foot senior guard started with a career-high 29 points against Webster last Tuesday, hitting 9-11 from the floor including 5-7 from three-point range to go with two assists and a steal.
Hobart-born teammate and forward Callum Barker also impressed in the win, notching 12 points and four rebounds.
Woodfall then collected nine points, four rebounds and three assists in a win over Philander Smith before leading an impressive 77-71 win over Central Baptist on Saturday, where Missouri overturned a 15-point half-time deficit.
Eighteen of his 24 points came in the second half and he finished with 9-9 from the free-throw line.
The former Punchbowl primary, Riverside high and Launceston College student, who is studying a bachelor of biology, plans to return to Tasmania at the completion of the college year.
