TAMPA, MAY 18, 2015 - Junior guard Courtney Williams will have a busy summer following a successful tryout in Colorado last weekend.

The Bulls' leading scorer from 2014-15 performed well among elite competition at the Team USA Basketball Trials, earning a Team USA roster spot for the World University Games set to take place in South Korea this July.

Williams is one of 12 players on roster, and one of seven to play for Team USA for the first time. She joins Nina Davis(Baylor/Memphis, Tenn.); Chanise Jenkins (DePaul/Chicago, Ill.); Brionna Jones (Maryland/Havre de Grace, Md.); Aerial Powers (Michigan State/Detroit, Mich.); Courtney Range(California/Manteca, Calif.); Sydney Wiese (Oregon State/Phoenix, Ariz.), Jordin Canada (UCLA/Los Angeles, Calif.); Diamond DeShields(Tennessee/Norcross, Ga.); Rebecca Greenwell(Duke/Owensboro, Ky.); Erica McCall (Stanford/Bakersfield, Calif.); and Mercedes Russell (Tennessee/Springfield, Ore.) on a team led by Northwestern Head Coach Joe McKeown. 

" I am really excited," McKeown said. "I feel like we have tremendous talent and balance. We have size, we have quickness and the ability to score the basketball a high level. The challenge will be, obviously, to blend everybody together. But I feel like we have a real unselfish group, and it is going to be a lot of fun."

The USA players and coaches for the 2015 USA World University Games Team will return to Colorado Springs for training camp on June 18-July 2, before departing for the event. The 2015 World University Games women's basketball competition will be held July 4-13 in Gwangju, South Korea.

Williams scored a USF-record 710 points last season, and is currently fifth on the Bulls' career scoring list. She will help lead a 2015-16 Bulls team already generating national buzz and rankings.
