Graves on Williams: We are thrilled to add a player of Kennedi’s caliber to our roster. She brings a lot of experience and maturity to our locker room. She’s won a lot of games at the Division I level and has a level of competitiveness that will push us to get better every day. She possesses a great ability to find the open teammate and is always looking to distribute the basketball. She will be a great example for a young roster and we can’t wait for her to be a Duck.
