three times including at the Emory Spring Invitational leading up
to the ODAC Championships. He is ranked 108th in
the national Golfstat Cup standings, as released by www.golfstat.com on April 20.
Williams led his team to the 2010 ODAC title, the first conference
championship in Eagles’ history. Williams is in his

doubles as the chair of the Math and Computer Science
Departments. He and his Eagles will be up in Hershey, Pa., on
May 11-14 for the 2010 NCAA Division III Championships. The
