Williams laughed when asked if Dangerfield’s medical report on her was accurate. She did not want to go into specifics about the injury or the play that caused her to leave the game but she did say, “I think everything happens for a reason.” UConn coach Geno Auriemma isn’t sure if Williams will play in the semifinals, but he doesn’t believe the injury was as serious as it appeared judging by the way Williams limped off the court and her body language when she returned to the bench at the start of the second half." “She just tweaked it a little bit in the one defensive possession we were in. She could have played if we didn’t have another game for a week maybe, but there is no point in aggravating it a little more,” Auriemma said. “Tomorrow I am sure she will be a little sore. We will know a little more in shootaround and I am sure she will be fine.” [/QUOTE]
