Williams Tabbed NJAC Rookie of the Week

PITMAN, N.J. (1/14/08) - For the second straight week, freshman guard Keith Williams (Jersey City, N.J.) was named the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) Rookie of the Week after averaging 19.5 points in a pair of NJAC games last week.

Williams, who earns the honor for the third time this season, scored the final seven points of the game against Rutgers-Camden, lifting the Cougars to the 48-43 road win.  In that game, Williams finished with 19 points, six rebounds and three steals.  He followed that up with a game-high 20 points, while adding four assists and two steals in a 59-56 NJAC defeat to NJCU.

Williams, who shot .632 (12-of-19) from the field, .500 (5-of-10) from three-point range, and .909 (10-of-11) from the foul line in the two contests combined, currently ranks third in the NJAC in three-point field goal percentage (.452).
