CAMDEN, N.J. (March 18, 2020) – When the Eastern College Athletic Conference announced its honors for the 2019-20 season, it recognized the brilliance of Rutgers University-Camden guard Fatimah Williams (Camden, NJ/Timber Creek).
 
Williams was named to the ECAC Division III Women's Basketball First Team today after a tremendous senior season in which she led all New Jersey Athletic Conference players in overall scoring average (20.3) and NJAC-only scoring average (19.3).
 
Williams and Kean University's Payce Lange were the only players from the NJAC honored on the ECAC Women's Basketball First Team or the nine-member All-ECAC Honorable Mention list.
 
In addition to her NJAC-leading scoring average, Williams also finished fourth in NJAC-only games in field goal percentage (.406), fifth in minutes per game (35.3), seventh in both assists per game (2.7) and steals per game (2.3), eighth in free throw percentage (.705) and 14th in rebounds per game (6.8).
 
She earned NJAC Second Team honors for the second consecutive year before capturing ECAC First Team recognition.
 
Overall, Williams averaged 6.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.7 steals for the season, collecting 166 rebounds, 68 steals and 67 assists, while starting all 25 Rutgers-Camden games. Her 508 points and 20.3 scoring average both rank 10th on the program's single-season lists.
 
Williams finished her stellar career with 1,240 points, tied for sixth place on the program's all-time career list, while starting 70 of her 75 career games. She also finished seventh in career scoring average (16.5), 11th in assists (175) and 17th in steals (138). She was ninth in both field goals (470) and field goal attempts (1,057), and her .445 career field goal percentage is fourth among all Rutgers-Camden players with the NCAA career minimum of 400 field goals made.
 
An outstanding shooter from the foul line as well, Williams went 252-for-361 from the charity stripe in her career. Her .698 career foul shooting percentage ranks as the third-best free throw mark in program history for all players with the NCAA career minimum of 250 free throws made.
 
During her senior season, Williams scored in double figures in 22 of her 25 games. She scored 20 or more points on 14 occasions and three times went over 30 points. In a win at Kean University on Feb. 1, Williams went 18-for-30 from the floor on her way to 43 points, the fourth-highest single-game total in program history.
 
Williams was named the NJAC Player of the Week on November 18, 2019 and added the school's Raptor of the Week honor the same day.
 
As a junior during the 2018-19 campaign, Williams earned NJAC Player of the Week honors on Jan. 14, was named the team's Most Dedicated Player and earned Rutgers-Camden's Raptor of the Week recognition on both Nov. 26 and Jan. 14.
 
During her freshman season (2016-17), Williams scored 20 points in her first collegiate game against Pitt-Bradford (Nov. 18) on her way to earning a berth on the Jim Crawley All-Tournament Team at Frostburg State University's tourney.
