Maryland women's basketball coach, Brenda Frese, has been overlooked for her successful career, which includes a 99-67 victory over Murray State and a national championship in 2006. She has led the Terrapins to 16 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and is known for her ability to stay calm and prepare her teams for the next game. Frese will face North Carolina in the next round of the NCAA Tournament, where she holds an 11-12 record as a head coach against North Carolina. This match will be the first time the two teams will meet since Maryland left the ACC for the Big Ten in 2014.
