U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. --  Andrea Williams has agreed to become the new women's basketball head coach at the Air Force Academy, according to an announcement today from Director of Athletics Dr. Hans Mueh. Details of the contract are still being worked and are going through the Academy process.

"I am delighted to welcome Andrea Williams as our new women's basketball head coach," said Mueh. "Andrea brings unbridled enthusiasm, experience in one of the nation's top basketball conferences and a commitment to excellence that will give us the opportunity to bring this program to the next level."

Williams joins the Falcons after serving as an assistant coach at the University of South Florida for the past two seasons. While at USF, Williams helped lead the Bulls to a pair of WNIT appearances, including a WNIT championship during the 2008-09 campaign. The Bulls finished that year with a 27-10 overall record, including an amazing 19-2 mark in non-conference competition. In addition, USF posted an 8-8 ledger in the ultra-competitive Big East Conference before falling to national champion Connecticut in the quarterfinals of the league tournament.
