Saint Francis University Athletics Hall of Fame
Standing no taller than 6’5”, Sandy Williams was the focal point of Saint Francis College teams for the bulk of his college career. A quiet, serious, reflective man off the court, he was a ferocious competitor on it. Always playing against taller forwards, he would explode, moving faster and jumping higher than anyone on the court, and there would be a flurry of quick points as the game moved to another level, propelled by his play.
A confident shooter, especially at the foul line, he often found himself there as the team’s designated go-to guy. In a win over Kent State in 1963 he scored 24 points from the foul line alone.
He scored at a prolific pace averaging over 24 points his junior and senior years and is one of only three players in program history to finish his collegiate career with 1,500 points and 750 rebounds.
