UNC Wilmington women’s basketball coach Nicole Woods was at Wrightsville Beach with her family on May 21 when her 8‑year‑old nephew was pulled under by a wave. Woods jumped in to rescue him, but a strong rip current dragged both of them out to sea.
She managed to push her nephew to the surface so he could breathe before losing consciousness herself. Rescue teams on the beach intervened and brought them safely back to shore.
Woods expressed gratitude for surviving the ordeal.
