Senior Bria Joyner-Williams has been named the Student-Athlete of the week for December 28-January 3, 2016.
Joyner-Williams has been a rebounding machine and offensive force for the TU women’s basketball team this season as the Lady Night Hawks have collected a 6-5, 1-0 TSC, record in their 2015-2016 campaign. The Fayetteville, Ga., native is averaging a double-double each game this season. She is Thomas’ second leading scorer and rebounder averaging 10.9 and 10.1, respectively. Joyner-Williams is fifth in NAIA Division II in offensive rebounds per game (4.556), 38th in defensive rebounds per game (5.778) and 13th in total rebounds per game (10.333). This past weekend, Joyner-Williams record 22 points and eight rebounds in Thomas’ 78-64 victory over Allen University. Her shining moment came at the charity stripe where she converted 12 of her 14 free throw attempts.
