Pacer Softball Adds Williamson

AIKEN, S.C. – The University of South Carolina Aiken softball team and head coach Jerry Snyder announced the signing of Brittney Williamson to a National Letter of Intent on Wednesday, July 14. Williamson becomes the sixth and final player to sign with the Pacers during the offseason.

The Lexington, S.C. native played her high school softball for the Timberwolves of White Knoll High School. She played travel ball for the S.C. Elite with future teammate and incoming freshman Hillary Stewart.

Like Stewart, Williamson comes to USC Aiken highly decorated, being named to the North/South All-Star, All-Region and All-Area teams in 2010. She also earned All-Region and All-Area plaudits in both 2008 and 2009.

Her team’s MVP in 2010, Williamson concluded her senior campaign batting .424, swiping 25 bases on the season. More impressively, Williamson went her entire high school career without committing a single error.

“Brittney is an excellent defensive outfielder,” remarked Snyder. “She has a lot of speed and can run everything down. Offensively she brings a solid bat, and is always a threat to steal bases.”

Williamson concludes the 2010-11 signing for coach Snyder and the Pacers, joining a Pacer squad that has shared much success recently, including having been ranked nationally at some point during the last two seasons. The 2010 Pacers were ranked a softball program preseason-best, 13th in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Division II Preseason Top-25 poll, and remained ranked well into the season en route to keeping the Pacers’ current streak of 20-win seasons alive at seven.
