Here is an excellent article and video about them and their coach. She may be intent on being the D-II UCONN. I said so, not her. "The Ashland women’s basketball team put together some numbers last season, running the table as they stomped to a second national title in five years." "I get asked a lot how we are preparing for UConn. The reality is we are preparing for Ashland. That’s our focus going into the season.” [B]Head coach Robyn Fralick:[/B] "Fralick has built quite the resume to start her young career. She is 68-2 in those first two seasons, adding a national championship as a head coach to the one she earned as Ashland's associate head coach four years prior." [B]Fralick must have been studying the UCONN program and the culture both Geno and CD have created.[/B] "She knows how to bring the best out of every player, every team she coaches. The part people don't see is that she is constantly building our team. Being a team is intentional and she has led us to know what that looks like. And yes, every day a winning attitude is commanded. A common phrase in our program is championship behavior. That includes in the classroom, in our social lives, but also on the court diving for loose balls, lockdown defense, and running the floor every time. There is so much to Coach Fralick that it's hard to describe it. She's a leader, a motivator, and we know she loves all of us beyond the game of basketball." She sold me! I will follow Ashland this season. [/QUOTE]
