After moving south from Blaine, Minnesota (Blaine HS) to join the Golden Bears, Hillary (Johnson) Williams became a key cog in the Concordia lineup, helping the squad to a pair of top-four finishes in the Northern Sun during her time in St. Paul.
Joining forces with Rachel Vitense over her first three years on campus, the duo provided the most lethal scoring combo in school history with both netting 19 goals apiece during that span to push the young program to new heights.
Williams helped CSP to a fourth-place finish in the NSIC in her freshman campaign, securing double-digit wins for the first time in program history. The Golden Bears improved on that mark two years later as they took second in the NSIC and booked their first trip to the NSIC Tournament semifinals as Williams netted eight times and assisted on five more goals to garner All-Region Second Team recognition.
She wrapped up her stellar career in 2007 as she made it back-to-back seasons with eight goals to earn All-NSIC First Team honors for the second year in a row.
After working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, she became a stay-at-home mother following the birth of their second son. She remains involved in soccer as she coaches a 10U competitive soccer team that competes in four different leagues throughout the year. Williams resides in Reno, Nevada with her husband, Perry, and their two sons, Jack and James.
