Williams has also volunteered with UConn’s SAAC, Habitat for Humanity, and the Connecticut Children’s Medical Center. In addition, she is involved with the programs Team IMPACT Teammate, Daniela, who joined in 2018.
Competition
Williams arrived at UConn as the top-ranked recruit coming out of high school. She has lived up to that billing, becoming the 49th Husky to score 1,000 career points. She currently leads the BIG EAST in points with 1,400.
Throughout her career, Williams has been selected as the 2019 AAC Freshman of the Year and is a two-time all-conference first team honoree. Entering this season, she was named a preseason All-BIG EAST selection and to the Naismith, Wooden, Wade, and Ann Meyers Drysdale Award Watch Lists.
