The work of Williams enabled Wagner to post its seventh consecutive victory.  The junior running back gained 224 yards from scrimmage and scored two touchdowns in the Seahawks’ 31-30 comeback victory over Patriot League member Holy Cross.  Williams was both the Seahawks’ leading rusher and receiver in Week 11. He ran 23 times for 177 yards and caught five passes for 47 yards. Williams rushed for a five-yard score that gave Wagner a 14-3 lead with 3:48 remaining in the first half. After the visitors scored 24 unanswered points to take a 27-14 lead over the Seahawks, Williams helped Wagner work its way back.  His 10-yard touchdown reception pulled Wagner within 30-24.  The performance made Williams the first NEC rusher to reach the 1,000-yard plateau this season as his 1,064 yards are tops on the circuit.
