Kahlil Williams | Penn State Harrisburg | Sr. | F

Philadelphia, Pa. | Central

Penn State Harrisburg had just one contest last week and Kahlil Williams took full advantage of his 31 minutes of action, posting his first double-double of the season in the team's come-from-behind victory over Elizabethtown on Wednesday night, Dec. 5. The senior racked up a game-high 31 points on a stellar 11-of-14 shooting (78.6 percent) to go along with a season-high 10 rebounds. The post player was crucial in helping the Lions mount a comeback, scoring 14 points in the first half to cut what had been a double-digit deficit to one at halftime. The Philly native also came up clutch down the stretch thanks to his converting nine free throws on the night, including going 4-for-4 in the final three minutes. Williams also added a pair of assists and two steals in a victory that improved the Blue & White to 7-1 on the year.
