Heidi Williams is the UMBC Athlete of the Week after she became the second Retriever this season to win back-to-back America East Rookie of the Week honors, joining Kennedy Austin. Williams also becomes the first UMBC player since Sara Tarbert in 2014 to earn four weekly awards in a season. 

Williams averaged 11.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in the two victories, putting forth a dominant effort versus Binghamton. Williams scored 17 points, pulled down six rebounds, and nabbed three steals in the six-point win over the Bearcats. Now averaging 9.6 points per game and 4.9 rebounds for the season, Williams has improved on those marks in league play, averaging 11.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in five America East games.
