Jerica Williams will begin her second season as an assistant coach at CSUN in the Fall of 2020.

Williams came to Northridge after spending the 2018-19 season at San Diego State as an administrative assistant.

Williams began her playing career in 2006 at UCLA, spending one season with the Bruins before transferring to her native San Diego, and playing for the Aztecs from 2008-10. Williams began her coaching career in 2011, coaching on the prep level for six seasons at Mount Miguel High School in San Diego (2011-13, 2016-18), Prestonwood Christian Academy (Dallas, Texas, 2013-14), and Harvard-Westlake School (Los Angeles, Calif., 2015-16).

In 2013, Williams launched JACE, an independent consultancy for business development, marketing, branding and public relations. Her efforts resulted in her being named San Diego’s Business Woman of the Year in 2017.

Williams founded the Live4Gen Foundation in May 2013, a non-profit organization that was dedicated to increasing breast cancer prevention in honor of her teammate, Genevive Costello, who succumbed to the disease.
