Coaching Staff

Head Coach || Allison Williams

Williams came to LeTourneau with over 10 years of collegiate coaching experience.

Williams played collegiately at Bryan College (Tenn.) before moving into the coaching ranks. During her career as a student-athlete, Williams starred on the volleyball court where she finished with over 1,400 career kills in over 550 sets played and set the program record for total aces.

After graduating, she served as an assistant coach at her alma mater from 2011-14. While in Dayton, Tenn., Williams aided the Lions to a remarkable 85-33 (.720) record and the program won its first-ever Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) regular season and tournament championships in 2012 and 2013, qualifying for the NAIA Tournament both seasons.

Following the 2014 campaign, she accepted her first head coaching position, taking over at Martin Methodist (now known as Tennessee Southern) accumulating a 101-93 record in six years. In her first season, she led the RedHawks to the most wins in five seasons and reached the Southern States Athletic Conference Tournament for the first time in program history. Her teams succeeded off the court as well, with Sydney Arnold earning back-to-back SSAC Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

She guided the RedHawks to their first-ever NAIA Tournament victory in 2019 after going 27-11 overall and 12-1 in conference play and Williams' squads registered three consecutive 20-win campaigns as she posted a .673 winning percentage over her last three seasons with a 70-34 record.

For her efforts, Williams was named 2019 SSAC Coach of the Year and American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA)/NAIA Co-Region Coach of the Year.

Taking over the Martin Methodist volleyball program in August of 2014, Williams made an immediate impact as her RedHawks won the most league matches since 2010 and made their first appearance in the SSAC Tournament. With her program claiming 14 wins in 2016, it marked the most victories in a single season for Martin Methodist since 2011 while the RedHawks' 10 conference wins were the most since 2007.

The Williams-led Martin Methodist team finished the 2017 season with a 21-11 (.656) overall record for the most match victories since 2007. Awarded AVCA Thirty Under 30 distinction, Williams guided the RedHawks to a 9-5 league record and a runner-up finish in the SSAC regular season race. For the second-straight year, Williams' team posted the highest-grade point average in the athletic department and earned a NAIA Scholar-Team award.

Outdoing Martin Methodist's 2017 season, Williams took the RedHawks to 22 wins in the fall of 2018 as her team posted a 22-12 (.650) overall record and went 12-4 in the SSAC for the most conference triumphs in a single season since 2007. Finishing as the SSAC's regular season and tournament runner-up, Williams saw six of her players named all-conference and three earn a spot on the All-SSAC First Team.

Over her last three seasons, Williams coached her players to a total of 19 all-conference selections, including nine first-team recognitions. Four players garnered player of the year awards with the RedHawks laying claim to both the SSAC Libero and Setter of the Year in 2019. Under Williams' leadership, Arnold earned back-to-back SSAC Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards as Hayley Brisendine became the first Martin Methodist NAIA Volleyball All-American since 2007.
