ASHLAND, Va. – Sophomore Kelly Williams (Garysburg, N.C./Halifax Academy) has earned a third All-American nod for her efforts this season, this time from Women's DIII News. The selection was announced in the published edition for April 2018. Williams earned a First Team spot as a center.

Last week, Williams was named as an All-American by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association. D3Hoops.com selected her as a First Team All-American as well as its South Region Player of the Year.

The honors for work on the court all come on the same week as Williams' selection as a Second Team College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-American for her work in the classroom.

Richmond Times-Dispatch also named Williams to its All-State Team for Division II/III and Sports Illustrated named her a "Face in the Crowd."

During the ODAC Tournament, Williams set new records for total points scored (79) and total rebounds (60) in a single tournament.

Williams was been named the ODAC Player of the week eight times this season to total 12 in her career – the most decorated R-MC ODAC Player in the Week in history. She has received the U.S Basketball Writers Association National Division III Player of the Week honor four times in 2017-18, more than any other player at the Division III level in history. Including one selection last year, Williams has five honors from the group.  D3hoops.com has named her to its Team of the Week twice this season as well.

Williams finished the season with 736 points, an average of 25.4 points per game, which still is the national lead for both marks. She finished with 527 rebounds, the national #1, as well as an average of 18.2 per game, which is still second-best in the nation. Her 28 double-doubles is a national lead as well, as is the number of field goals made with 269. Williams was also the national leader in free throws attempted and made with 304 and 197 respectively.
