Wheatley is without equal among Salisbury goalkeepers and one of the greatest netminders in the history of collegiate women's lacrosse. She won a program-record 66 games across four seasons in the cage, scooped up its second-most ground balls (136), and graduated with its fourth-most saves (412, now fifth). Wheatley led the nation with a 5.75 goals against average in 2012, and her career GAA of 5.61 was the best all-time in NCAA Division III at the time of her graduation (now third).
 
Wheatley was a three-time IWLCA National Goalie of the Year (2012-14), making the All-CAC, All-Region, and All-America First Teams in all three campaigns. She manned the pipes for four CAC championship sides (2011-14) and played in three national championship games, posting a 6.33 GAA in a trilogy of finals clashes with Trinity (Conn.) guiding the Sea Gulls to back-to-back NCAA crowns in 2013 and 2014.
