Over the course of her four seasons, the Pioneers went 87-25 and earned three trips to the NCAA Tournament. A recipient of the NCAA Ethnic and Minority Postgraduate scholarship, Williams pursued a Master of Science degree in Exercise and Sport Studies at Smith College in Massachusetts, where she was also a member of the women's basketball staff.
