Williams was also named All League First-Team for the third-straight year.

"Pretty cool to see Macee win the award for the third-straight week," said head coach Austin Parkinson. "She is a really difficult matchup for teams because she scores the ball so well but is also an incredible passer. We are very fortunate to witness the historic career Macee has put together."

On a national level, Williams finished the regular season 60^th in rebounds per game, 73^rd in points per game and her league-leading nine double-doubles were 29^th in the NCAA.
Williams finished the season scoring in double-figures in 15 of IUPUI's 17 games and scored 20+ points in seven games. Williams also distributed a career-high 2.2 points per game, with four games of five assists, including her last three games.
