HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Mya Williams and Natalie Payne signed letters of intent Tuesday.
Williams finished her career at Hutchinson Community College as the program's second-leading scorer all-time (1,163 points). She came close to Kalani Purcell's all-time record of 1,176 career points.
Williams announced Tuesday that her next stop is Georgia State University in Atlanta. The Panthers finished last season 12-21.
Williams finished her Blue Dragon career with a program-best 17.6 points per game.
Natalie Payne announced she would be joining former Blue Dragon scoring leader Heather Robben.
Heather Hurt (née Robben) finished her Dragon career as the all-time points leader in 2010, before Jamie Patrick (1,098 points), Kalani Purcell (1,176) and Mya Williams (1,163) etched their names on the list.
Hurt played at Wichita State before becoming an assistant coach at East Central University (Ada, Oklahoma). Hurt was just named the new head coach of the Tigers after serving as the interim last season.
The Tigers are coming off an 11-16 campaign.
Payne averaged 4.3 points and 4.2 rebounds per game as a sophomore at Hutchinson. She shot 43.3% from the field and 33.3% from distance last season.
Both Williams and Payne cited coaches and team size as the perfect fit for their new destinations.
