ORONO, Maine – University of Maine women's basketball interim head coach Amy Vachon has announced the addition of Kathleen 'Kat' Williams, a 6-5 center. Williams will join the Black Bears in the fall of 2017-18.
 
"We are excited to announce the signing of Kathleen 'Kat' Williams," Vachon said. "Kat will bring a solid low post presence to our team and will be a force on the defensive end as well with her size. Kat has a great touch around the basket and has a high basketball IQ that will fit in well with our system. She is not only a great basketball player, but Kat is an excellent student with high standards who will only enhance our team culture. Black Bear Nation, please join us in welcoming Kat Williams!"
 
Williams, who hails from Coral Springs, Fl., averaged a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds to go along with six blocks per game for Majory Stoneman Douglas high school. As a captain, she helped lead her team to a school-record 28-3 mark and a District championship in 2017.  Individually, Williams was named to the state all-star team and earned a First Team All-Broward County selection.
 
The eligibility of all student-athletes is contingent upon admission to the University of Maine and compliance with all NCAA rules, including registration with the NCAA Eligibility Center.
