PC's Williams to Long Beach State

Former Providence sophomore Dwain Williams, who announced last month that he was leaving the Friars, has transferred to Long Beach State. The six-foot guard from San Diego said he wanted to return to California to be closer to his family. "Dwain Williams is a great addition to our program,'' head coach Dan Monson said. "His success in the Big East Conference demonstrates that he is a proven high-level point guard that will help solidify our backcourt.'' Williams averaged 11.0 points and 2.3 assists per game last season.
