Redshirt-junior Christal Williams (Riverdale, Ga.) came into her own with one of the best weeks of her career as a Laker, averaging 22.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game as she helped fuel what has become a 10 game winning streak.
She opened the week at Flagler (2/26) where she was a critical factor in a 75-71 win that kept that streak alive and strengthened Clayton State's NCAA Tournament chances. In that one she dropped a career-high 25 points, going 7-of-13 from the field and 10-of-11 at the foul line. She also hauled in six boards while dishing out three assists and swiping a pair of steals.
Williams would finish the week with another clutch performance, this time in a stunning 73-64 upset of No. 13/17 North Georgia (2/29). Behind her 19 points (7-of-8 at the foul line) and a pair of rebounds, that victory would run their win streak to 10 (which started following a loss in Dahlonega) while snapping UNG's eight game stretch.
