6 — Williams Named MCC's Player Of The Week
Career-high
27 points helps senior to first weekly honor of career |
Indianapolis, IN — Just 48 hours
after charting her career high in points, Goshen College senior
Candice Williams was named the Mid-Central Conference Player of
the Week in women’s basketball.
Williams, a 6-0 multi-talented guard, dropped 27 points and six
rebounds in the Leafs’ 77-80 overtime loss to Marian College
Saturday afternoon. In Goshen’s 60-57 win over newly appointed
MCC foe Spring Arbor University on Tuesday, Williams scored 10
points to go with five rebounds and four assists.
“Candice is starting to again play on the offensive end of
the court like she did last year,” said Goshen head coach
Steve Wiktorowski. “She
is becoming more aggressive, as well as being more selective offensively.
She is a big key to our success.”
The award is Williams’ first since arriving to Goshen last
season — she transferred to the school after graduating from
Vincennes University in 2003 — and was named to All-MCC First
Team honors last year, averaging 15.1 points per game. Through
Goshen’s first 11 games this season, Williams is scoring
13.5 points per game.
Wiktorowski can only hope Williams will continue her latest efforts,
as the Leafs will host sixth-ranked Indiana Wesleyan University
to the Roman Gingerich Center for a huge pre-Christmas MCC clash
this Thursday night. Game time is set for 7 p.m. Click here to
