Lady Lions’ Williams Repeats as Women’s Basketball Player of the Week
FRISCO, Texas – Southeastern’s Caitlyn Williams is the Southland Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week, the league announced Monday. Southland weekly honors are presented by
GEICO.
Williams was a model of consistency last week, tallying 14 points and eight rebounds in both road wins against McNeese and HBU. The Brusly, La., native sits atop the Southland charts, shooting 56 percent from the field. Williams is the leading scorer and rebounder for the Lady Lion team that has extended its best Southland start (7-0) and is on the program’s longest winning streak since the 1994-95 season.
This marks her second weekly award of the season and career. Southeastern (11-6) prepare for a repeat of last week’s game as it welcomes (or change Southeastern to The Lady Lions) McNeese on Thursday, Feb. 10 and HBU on Saturday, Feb. 12 to the University Center. Both games will be featured on ESPN+.
Women’s Basketball Player of the Week – Caitlyn Williams, Southeastern – Sr. – Forward – Brusly, La.
Williams was a key contributor to SLU’s comeback from an 11-point deficit in Thursday’s 69-68 win over McNeese, finishing with 14 points and eight rebounds. On Saturday, Williams also made an impact defensively as she helped the Lady Lions hold HBU to the lowest single-game point total for conference opponent in school history for the 52-30 win over the Huskies.
