SAN BRUNO — University of San Francisco women's basketball forward
Mikayla Williams' monster performance Saturday not only helped the Dons earn a come-from-behind victory over Sacramento State, but Monday, netted her West Coast Conference Co-Player of the Week Honors for the week of Dec. 9-15.
Â
Williams notched her WCC-leading fourth double-double Saturday, and second in a row, with a season-high 29 points and 15 rebounds to help lead San Francisco to a comeback, 87-82, non-conference win over the Hornets.
Â
Williams was clutch in leading the Dons to victory, scoring 10 points in the final five minutes of the game when USF still trailed 75-74. She scored 14 points overall in the fourth quarter alone. On the night, she went 9 for 17 (52.9%) from the field and knocked down 11 of 13 free throws (84.6%). She also added two blocks and two assists.

Saint Mary's Emily Codding (27 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, three blocks in a loss at Kansas) shared Monday's WCC Player of the Week award with Williams.
