Everton (Tony) Williams will be entering his third season as head coach of the Marygrove College Mustang Women's Soccer program. Williams exploded onto the scene at Marygrove in his first year (2009) when he led the Mustangs to a surprising USCAA National Championship in the first season as a varsity program. With a roster of 12 student-athletes, Williams helped mold a championship team immediately after his arrival. The championship built a strong foundation for a program that promises to have plenty of future success.
Before his time at Marygrove College, Williams had coached at the high school level for over 11 years. Over the 11 year period, Williams made stops to coach at Rochester Adams, Pontiac Central and Waterford Kettering High Schools. In 1992, Williams guided the Rochester Adams girl's soccer team to a MHSAA State Championship.The experienced Williams leaned on is his familiarity with starting an intercollegiate soccer program to help guide the early success of his Mustang squad. In 1997, Williams had the task of starting the men's soccer program at St. Mary's College (MI). In his second season, he guided St. Mary's to a second place finish in the 1998 Small College Association National Championship.
Williams earned his Masters Degree in the Art of Teaching at Marygrove College in 2006. Currently, he is working towards his Doctorate through Capella University. Williams has served as a teacher and mentor for the past seven years. Always the teacher, Williams has directed Everton Soccer Camps in the metro area for 20 years.
