Atlantic native Tiffany Williams recently completed her college basketball career at Emmaus Bible College in Dubuque and received many honors in the process. The Eagles finished the season with an 18-10 record and bowed out of the National Christian College Athletic Association Division II Tournament with two close losses. Williams said it was a team that had a lot of fun playing and spending time with each other.

Williams was honored as the NCCAA North Region MVP for the second straight year and was named a NCCAA Division II First-Team All-American this season. Pretty impressive honors considering Williams wasn’t sure she was even going to compete in sports during her college career.

Williams led the Eagles this season with 18.4 points, 13.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 4.5 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game. She shot 54% from the field and was a 72% foul shooter. Williams said her coaches really helped her grow as a player throughout her career.

Williams also received the NCCAA Scholar-Athlete Award and is finishing up her Intercultural Studies program. She was planning on an internship in Spain this Summer but that is up in the air during the coronavirus pandemic.

Tiffany finished this season ranked in the top 10 of six different statistical categories in the NCCAA. She finishes her career having played 111 games for the Eagles and scoring 1,659 career points.
