All season long, Angelina College’s Lady Roadrunners have known they could count on picking up points in the paint as long as Natasha Mack and Mia Perkins were on the floor. They’ve gotten input from the outside, but nothing like what Mia Williams gave them in Tyler on Saturday.

Williams, the Diboll High School product, smoked the nets with nine three pointers to finish with a career-high 27 points in AC’s 75-66 win over the Lady Apaches – giving Byron Coleman’s squad a season sweep of its nemesis from up north.

For the season, Williams is hitting on 36.1 of her attempts from behind the arc; however, her previous high as a Lady Roadrunner came in November against McLennan College, when Williams went 5-of-7 from three-point range.

Against Tyler, Williams hit 9-of-12 for the game, giving her 47 made threes for the season.

The win over Tyler also kept the Lady Roadrunners close to the top of the standings. AC currently sits in third place at 17-6, 9-4, with Panola College and Trinity Valley College tied for second at 10-3 in conference play. Jacksonville College holds a one-game edge in first place at 11-2 in Region XIV play.

Bossier Parish College (9-14, 5-8) beat Blinn College on Saturday behind 30 points from Ashlyn Jacobs and 26 points from Brandy Harris.
