The Bruins’ netminder was critical in this game. When Salisbury threatened to not just close the gap but take the lead in the first half, Williams came up with big stops. In the second half, as Salisbury threatened to start a run, Williams made saves on a sequence of possessions that stifled the Crimson Knights offense and kept them from gaining any momentum. Williams, particularly in the first half, played his angles very well. Salisbury was able to attack with numbers in transition and would look for time and room shots. Williams stepped out to shooters, cutting angles and how much net they could see, while positioning himself to make a save. Any shot from more than 10 yards that he cleanly saw and was ready for, he saved. In the second half, the defense gave him shots he wanted, and he made the stops. It was an efficient, impressive game from the netminder, and the timeliness of some of his best saves is what makes him a stan out.

The Brunswick tradition of having a standout goalie between the pipes is safe with Williams. His ability to rapidly move side-to-side is impressive. Williams has excellent technique and plays with composure. Plus, he is extremely patient, so he will not be fooled by basic shot fakes. Additionally, Williams executed a host of pinpoint clearing passes that produced fast break opportunities for Brunswick. He’s set to continue his career at Brown University in the fall.
