RUTHERFORD ON WILLIAMS: "Sandy has come back strong from foot surgery and is ready to have a great year. With her freshman year now behind her, she should be an impact player for us at the forward-post positions. Sandy has good strength and moves well around the basket. She will be relied upon for her rebounding and shooting this season. Sandy has great athletic ability and the work ethic to be a good player."
