FORT WORTH—The TCU women’s basketball team has added guard Whitney Williams, a transfer from Iowa State, to its roster, head coach Jeff Mittie announced Friday. Williams will sit out next season as a redshirt before becoming eligible to play for the Frogs as a junior in 2011-12.
A native of Fort Worth, Williams played two seasons at Iowa State, each ending in deep Cyclone NCAA Tournament runs. Overall, she played in all 69 contests in her two years, including 14 starts this past season as a sophomore while helping the Cyclones reach the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament. ISU advanced to the Elite Eight during her freshman season in 2008-09.
Williams, a 5-7 guard, averaged 20.1 minutes per game with totals of 5.9 points, 1.0 rebound and 1.6 assists per contest in 2009-10. She shot 40.1 percent overall from the field and ranked fourth in the Big 12 Conference in 3-point percentage with a rate of 40.0 percent. She also shot 87.0 percent from the free-throw line as a sophomore. Williams opened her career by appearing in each of ISU’s 36 contests as a freshman in 2008-09, averaging 2.1 points and 1.0 assist per game.
While Williams has been a fixture on the court in her first two seasons, she also has excelled in the classroom. She earned a spot on the Big 12 Commissioner’s Honor Roll for Fall 2008.
Williams joined Iowa State after playing prep basketball for the THESA Riders of the Texas Home Educators Sports Association. A four-time All-American, she won the National Christian Homeschool Championship as a junior and senior and was tournament MVP both years. The squad was the national championship runner-up her freshman and sophomore campaigns.
Williams scored 3,630 points and hit 569 3-pointers while starting all four years of her prep career. She drilled 198 treys and turned in 1,201 points for a 23.5 points-per-game average as a junior, leading her team to a 40-11 overall mark, before scoring 19.1 points per game as a senior. Her efforts as a senior helped earn her the Pete Maravich Award, which is given to only one player each year at the NCHBC tournament
