6th Season83-74 Career Record2011 SLC Coach of The Year2011 & 2012 SLC Tournament Champs2011 & 2012 NCAA TournamentTwo 20 win seasons (2011 & 2012)

Brooks Donald Williams has led McNeese State to back-to-back Southland Conference Tournament titles and NCAA Tournament appearances and consecutive 20 win seasons the past two years. Williams led McNeese to its most successful season in school history in 2011 by wining the Southland Conference regular season title, only the second in program history. Williams didn’t stop there as she guided the Cowgirls to their first Southland Conference Tournament title and first NCAA Tournament appearance that year. For her accomplishments on the court, Williams was named the league’s and Louisiana’s “Coach of the Year”. Last season, Williams led the Cowgirls to their second consecutive SLC Tournament title and NCAA Tournament. The Cowgirls came close to picking up their first NCAA Tournament win against Kentucky, falling 68-62 to the SEC regular season champions. The Cowgirls posted a 26-8 overall record and a 13-3 conference record and a 12-2 home record.

Four of the eight losses were to teams ranked in the preseason Top 25 poll including Baylor, the 2012 National Champs and UCLA, LSU and Texas A&M. The Cowgirls also played in the preseason WNIT (at UCLA) and hosted a WNIT consolation round tournament. Williams led the Cowgirls to a 26-7 overall record, 15-1 Southland Conference record and an undefeated home record (15-0) during the 2010-11 season. The 20 win season was the first for the Cowgirls in 24 years. The overall record matched the best turnaround in NCAA history following a 7-22 overall record in 2009-10. The 26 overall and the 15 conference wins are school records. The Cowgirls got off to their best conference start (6-0) in school history and the 14-5 start was the best overall start in 14 years. McNeese tied the school’s longest winning streak (12 games) and won 19 of its last 21 games of the season. McNeese broke into a poll for the first time in school history, the collegeinsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 Women’s Basketball poll Feb. 15, 2011, coming in at no. 25. The Cowgirls ended the season ranked No. 15 in the final poll. On the court, Williams won her 50th career game in a 73-63 home victory over Northwestern State on Feb. 19, 2011 and has guided the Cowgirls to the Southland Conference Tournament four out of the last five years. In 2009, McNeese picked up a milestone victory with a win over three-time National Champions Louisiana Tech. That year the Cowgirls shot a school record, led the Southland Conference (for the second straight year) and ranked 76th in the nation with a 71.8 free throw percent in 2009. The Cowgirls also ranked second in the SLC with a 34.3 three-point field goal percent. Off the court, Williams and the Cowgirls have participated in numerous community service activities including the Ethel Precht Breast Cancer Walk and the Jeff Davis Bank Toys for Tots drive for the past five years. Williams has ignited a fan following in the community, speaking to groups about her passion and motivation about the revival of the program. Williams’ community and local recruiting efforts have increased attendance drastically. Williams was named one of Southwest Louisiana’s Up and Coming Under 40 recipients by the Times of Southwest Louisiana and Fusion Five Magazine in 2009.

In her first season, Williams guided the Cowgirls to a 10-21 record and second place tie in the East Division after being picked to finish sixth in the preseason polls. Williams led the Cowgirls to victories in four of their last six games and advanced to the Southland Conference Tournament. Williams’ 2007-08 squad broke seven McNeese records (six team and one individual), tied two, and set a Southland Conference record with 16 three-pointers made in a road victory at Lamar. The Cowgirls also handed the Cardinals their first home loss of the season that night. The Cowgirls also upset longtime national powerhouse Stephen F. Austin and eventual Southland Conference Tournament champion and NCAA participant Texas-San Antonio. McNeese ended the season leading the league in free throw shooting percent, ranked second in three-point field goals made and assist-turnover ratio, and ranked third in three-point field goal percent. Williams, McNeese State’s ninth head coach, brought interest and excitement back to the Cowgirl program in her first season and has built it into a championship program.
