"They said they were happy," Williams jokingly told the Baltimore Sun about the Chestnut Hill crowd following the victory. "I take them at their word."

Williams' career record increased to 600-336 in the 19th season as the head coach at his alma mater.

He also has been the head coach at Ohio State (1982-86) and American University (1978-82).
