INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – IUPUI women's basketball standout, Macee Williams was selected as a candidate for the 2021-22 Senior CLASS Award today for her efforts on and off the court. Williams is one of only 30 women's basketball student-athletes selected.
 
The Senior CLASS Award, an acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, is for a student-athlete classified as an NCAA Division 1 senior and shows notable achievements in four areas: community, classroom, character and competition.
 
Williams is the only Horizon League women's basketball student-athlete named as a candidate and is known as one of the best players in #HLWBB history. She has been named Horizon League Player of the Year three times and is the all-time leader in Player of the Week awards with 11. She was also named Freshman of the Week six times and Freshman of the Year in 2018 following her rookie season. Williams is IUPUI's all-time leader in points and ranks No. 2 in rebounds. This season is no different than any other as she is averaging 16.0 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.2 blocks per game through the first five games of the season.
 
As a leader of the IUPUI women's basketball team, Williams has used her platform to make a positive impact in the community. During her time as a Jaguar, she became involved with the Christian Student Fellowship (CSF) and helped with a program called FAME, which is a medical evangelism program that helps repurpose medical supplies for those in need. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, Williams and fellow Jags would visit the Riley Children's Hospital to visit with kids, make arts and crafts and play games.
 
Williams also excels in the classroom and has already earned her undergraduate degree in sport management with a 3.2 GPA. She was named to the IUPUI's Academic Advisor's List five times and is now pursuing a master's degree in elementary education.
 
The Senior CLASS Award winners will be announced during the 2022 NCAA Women's Final Four. For the full release and more information about the award, visit www.seniorclassaward.com.
