Meet A Mustang: Brittany Williamson |  |
|
By Kevin Pottebaum Brittany Williamson is a senior center from Ruthven, Iowa returning for her senior season for the Morningside Mustang girl’s basketball team. The Chemistry/Biology major is one of three girls returning as starters for the Mustangs that won the national championship last season, the Morningside girls started this season ranked #1 in the nation. CR: What brought you to Morningside College? BW: I think it was when I took my visit, it was a friendly atmosphere, and that’s what I liked. It helped that the basketball team was pretty good. CR: What is your favorite thing about the school? BW: Everybody is involved, people know what’s going on around and there’s a lot of campus support. CR: What’s your favorite memory so far here at Morningside? BW: Winning the national championship. It’s something everybody dreams of, and going 38 and 0 on top of that just adds to it. CR: What was the atmosphere like during the national tournament? BW: The first couple games there’s not a lot of people there so it’s just like a normal game but you know if you lose you’re done so you have that feeling. But when you get to the final four and the championship game you have that crowd that you’re playing for… It’s just unbelievable. Especially having that student section there, we don’t normally have that big of a student section. CR: Was it a big help having the national tournament here in Sioux City? BW: Yea, big help. It’s not something that every team gets to experience. CR: Is that how you like it or would you rather get the opportunity to travel somewhere nice? BW: I think I like being here. It’s more comforting being in an environment that you’re used to and we get to travel during the season and that’s enough for me during the championship I like being comfortable where I’m at. CR: Is that the overall feeling of the team or are there some that really would like to get to go somewhere else? BW: On the team we joke around, we feel bad for those teams from Florida who have to come to Iowa to enjoy their spring break. I would say most of us agree that we like having it here and being at home. CR: You guys started the season ranked at the top of the polls; what are your expectations for the season seeing that? BW: I think that it’s going to take us a couple of months but we’re going to get where we want to be in the end. We have to get used to playing with each other. But I think that come national tournament time we’re going to be right where we want to be and be contenders once again. CR: The team seems to have struggled thus far dropping a couple of tough games to start the season, how do you plan to change things? BW: We haven’t played much defense and we all need to step up and take responsibilities. We lost some great players and we just have to step up and fill those shoes. We just have to take the initiative with it. Brittany’s Favorites |
