Morgan Williams is entering her second season going into 2024-25 with the Highlanders as an assistant coach.
"I'm extremely excited and grateful for the opportunity to join the Radford family!" commented Williams. "Coach McGuire has a successful history history here at Radford and has become a household name not only for his achievements but for his character. Coach McGuire has also put together a seasoned staff and I look forward to working with such talent. I can't wait to get to work with our young women and continue the excellence that has been Radford women's basketball."
Williamson is returning to the women's basketball coaching scene in the Commonwealth after a break during the 2022-23 season. Williamson had previously spent three seasons as an assistant coach with VCU and six years overall with the Rams.
During her time at VCU, Williams helped lead VCU to its first Atlantic 10 Regular Season Championship and A-10 Tournament Championship. The Rams also earned the program’s second-ever NCAA Tournament bid in 2020-21. Prior to serving as an assistant coach, Williams served as the executive assistant for VCU Women’s Basketball, assisting in recruiting and day-to-day administrative tasks for the Rams.
"I'm excited to welcome Morgan Williams to our basketball program," commented head coach Mike McGuire. "Morgan has a lot of playing and coaching experience at a high level in Division I. I know her experience and knowledge makes our program better right away. She will be a huge asset in player development, scouting and recruiting. But, most importantly, being a positive role model for the women in our program."
Before joining the college coaching ranks, Williams was a four-year letter winner at Georgetown University and was part of three NCAA Tournament appearances as well as a WNIT appearance for the Hoyas. Williams helped Georgetown advance to at least the second round of the NCAA Tournament in all three appearances. Overall, Williams played in 98 career games while at Georgetown.
