Alisa Williams

AMES — Iowa State women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly announced the addition of Alisa Williams to the 2023-24 roster on Wednesday.

Williams joins the Cyclones after spending her freshman season with LSU as part of the Tigers’ national championship squad.

“We are excited that Alisa will be joining the Iowa State family,” said Fennelly. “Alisa was someone we recruited very hard in high school. She has a very versatile game that fits the way we like to play. I think using this upcoming season as a redshirt year will be very beneficial to Alisa in all areas.”

Williams, a 6-foot-2 forward from Denton, Texas, appeared in 20 games for LSU and played a total of 58 minutes as a true freshman. She scored 18 points and pulled down 20 rebounds while adding two blocks as a reserve.

Williams led Braswell High School to a 35-3 record as a senior while advancing to the Class 6A Region I championship game. She averaged 17.8 points per game and 7.0 rebounds per game over her junior and senior seasons.
