Wiggins, Minnesota's first-round draft choice out of Stanford in 2008, injured her left leg in the fourth quarter and left the game with 8 seconds remaining. ``Win the game, lose a player, kind of thing for the year,'' Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve said. ``Our hearts go out to Candice. Candice gives us a lot of things, she gives us flexibility, she gives a second ball handler. She was really getting going and playing well, she's a leader so were going to miss some intangibles and certainly some very specific basketball things and we're just going to have to find a way to fill the void.'' Wiggins came in averaging 15.3 points and 3.0 rebounds per game. Minnesota (5-9) has won three in a row and the Liberty (4-7) have lost three straight. Nicky Anosike added 13 points and Lindsay Whalen added 11 for Minnesota. ``We wanted to come in and get our third win in a row, get on that streak,'' Anosike said.
