It's the first time a Phoenix has received first team honors in the history of the program. It is Williams' second all-conference selection after he was named to the third team in the Skye Division in 2023. He had one of the best seasons in program history as he found the back of the net seven times. It vaulted him into second in the record books for career goals at Wilson. The junior midfielder scored goals in games against Hood, Penn State Mont Alto, Penn State Altoona, and Penn State Brandywine. Three of them came against Brandywine. It was his second multiple goal game of the season after he scored a brace in a home victory against Altoona. Williams also did well to distribute the ball as he added assists in games against Valley Forge and Cairn in the first round of the United East Championship. He finished with 16 points on the year.

Torres needed three to tie the previous mark of 322 set by Theresa Phelps Denhoff, Class of 2001, which stood for 25 years.
