Williams came up big in goal for the Rams with a pair of shutouts as Mobile breezed through the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Tournament with 2-0 victories over Belhaven College and 14th-ranked William Carey University. The sophomore was brilliant in the semifinal win over Belhaven College with 5 saves. All of the saves were either outstanding diving snags or stops against an attacker that had beaten the defense into the 18-yard box. Williams then followed that up with a pair of saves against the Crusaders to help the Rams advance to a Nov. 14 play-in game for a trip to the NAIA National Tournament. Mobile will host Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Champ Mountain State Friday at 4 pm. The goalkeeper has allowed only seven goals over the last nine games for the Rams, including only a pair of goals allowed over five GCAC matches. |
