Even if, at times, that means having to explain to people precisely what a quadruple-double is — as she had to in front of her Tuesday morning literature class.

“At least once in a while all D-III athletes would like to experience the big crowds and all the crazy madness of Division I,” Williams said. “But because Division III doesn’t give scholarships, student-athletes go into it with the mind-set of going to get a degree.”
