La Salle junior Olivia Williams rallied from four shots back on the final day to win the Girls High School State Title on Wednesday at Cranston Country Club. 

Williams carded a two-day score of 154 (7-over) to edge Lily Dessel by one shot and first round leader Adriana Eaton by two shots. 

“I’m really excited and I’m glad that I could come back after not having the best season. I’m glad that I could finish this strong,” said Williams after the round. 

This is Williams second High School State Championship after winning the tournament as a freshman two years ago. 

Williams started the day four shots back of defending champion Adriana Eaton. 

The tournament flipped on the eight hole when Eaton made seven and Williams made a three to pull into a tie for the lead. 

The two went back and forth for the remainder of the match with Williams holding a one shot lead on Eaton heading into the last hole. 

“She is a great player, great competitor, great to play with. We are friends. Adriana had a great season, she did great yesterday and yea, great competitor,” added Williams. 

Williams made a bogey on 18, while Eaton made double. 

Eaton’s double actually moved Lily Dessel into solo second place.
