Brenda Frese wins AP Women’s Coach of the Year

Maryland women’s basketball’s head coach Brenda Frese has been named the AP National Coach of the Year for the 2020-21 season.

Earlier this season, Frese was named as the ESPN National Coach of the Year as well as The Athletic’s National Coach of the Year.

Frese led the Terps to a 26-3 overall record, despite the team coming into this season after losing all five starters due to graduation and players entering the transfer portal.

Maryland finished the regular season as a consistent top-10 team in the AP Poll with just two losses and a sparkling 17-1 record against Big Ten opponents.
