The stint lasted until 1996 when she

of nine teams that have made NCAA
Tournament appearances including a
Final Four (1999) and two regional finals appearances (1997, 2000) with Georgia,
and Georgetown's "Sweet 16" run in 1993.
Overall, Williams-Flournoy's record as an
assistant coach was 251-116.

court, Williams-Flournoy has been a
leader in producing all-around student-athletes
and monitoring academic
achievement. At Southwest Missouri
State Williams-Flournoy organized the
academic monitoring of student-athletes
and helped the team achieve a team GPA
of over 3.0. She was also in charge of
academic enrichment programs while at
Georgia and with Georgetown.
During her two seasons at Southwest
Missouri State, Williams-Flournoy worked
with head coach Katie Abrahamson-
Henderson and was a part of two-straight
NCAA Tournaments and two consecutive
Missouri Valley Conference Tournament
Championships. The Southwest Missouri
State team finished the 2003-04 season
with a 28-4 record and won the regularseason
Missouri Valley Conference
Championship.

under head coach Andy Landers. The
Bulldogs won Southeastern Conference
titles in 1997 and 2000, won the SEC
tournament in 2001 and produced seven
current WNBA players during Williams-
Flournoy's tenure.
Williams-Flournoy's four-year tenure at
Georgetown saw the Hoyas achieve great
success in her first season (1992-93),
as Georgetown earned a BIG EAST
Championship and its first-ever bid to the
NCAA Tournament, finishing the year with
a 23-7 overall mark. As a Georgetown

aspects of recruiting and scouting along
with conditioning, game planning and
