2017 and won the Division title in 2018, mark-
ing the first time the Zebras won a division title
in 21 years. Rashad Williams wasn’t cleared to
play this season until January 16, 2020 due to
his transfer from Cleveland State. In his 13
games so far, Rashad is averaging 20.2 points,
2.6 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game. He
won’t play enough games this season to be eligi-
ble to be on any stat leaderboard, but his 20.2
points a game would put him in top 25 in the
country in scoring. On February 13, Williams
was featured on ESPN’s Top 10 plays of the day,
reaching #2 with a cross-over of a Cleveland
State player and hitting a wide open three
