Bruin two-sport legend Natalie Williams was inducted into the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame last night in Knoxville, TN.
Williams was a four-year letter winner in both basketball and volleyball. While at UCLA, she was the first woman to be named an All-American in both basketball and volleyball in the same year.
Williams led the UCLA Women’s Volleyball team to national titles in 1990 and 1991.
But, according to a profile of Williams by Dan Fleser in the Knoxville News Sentinel, Natalie always considered herself as a volleyball walk-on because her scholarship was for basketball.
