Riverdale's Jerald Williams leads NCAA Division III men's basketball in assists after posting a record-setting performance earlier this month for the Lycoming College Warriors.
According to the college's website, the junior broke both a school and a Commonwealth Conference record on Dec. 17 when he tallied 21 assists during a 116-101 win over Mount Aloysius College.
That total — which surpassed his own record of 17 — brought the Bladensburg High School graduate within 12 assists of Lycoming's career record (432) and pushed his season average up to a nation-leading 9.7 assists per game.
