One Florida softball fan dealt with more than just a Gator loss on Friday. The Gainesville Sun is reporting that a fan was ejected after an incident with former UF basketball star Jason Williams and his daughter in the stands Katie Seashole Pressly Stadium. The daughter was not named, but said to be younger sister of Mia Williams,
The Williams family was on hand to watch Mia play for Texas Tech. Mia began her career at Florida, but transferred to Texas Tech after 2 seasons with the Gators.
Playing against her former team, Mia Williams had a 3-RBI day, including the game-winning 2-run homer. At one point during the game, Williams’ sister and her father were celebrating a big play. Per Kevin Brockway, there was an altercation that involved the younger Williams being hit by a handheld fan.

Initially, police escorted Jason Williams out of the stadium. He was brought back in, and police then escorted a Florida fan from the game.
Jason Williams, 50, followed Billy Donovan from Marshall to Florida. He played for UF basketball during the 1997-98 season. He went on to play in the NBA from 1998-2011, winning an NBA championship with the Miami Heat in 2006.
Mia Williams began her college career at Florida. She entered the transfer portal following the 2025 season and is now a star for Texas Tech, leading the Red Raiders in hits (82), RBIs (80), home runs (23) and doubles (22).
The Gainesville Super Regional continues Saturday at 12:30 p.m. ET. Texas Tech can advance to the Women’s College World Series with another win. Florida is facing elimination, needing a Game 2 victory to force a decisive Game 3.
