🔼 Frese’s Foundation. Kim McFarland was Brenda Frese’s first recruit as the head coach of Maryland women’s basketball.

Not as a player, but as a student manager. Despite not suiting up for the Terps, she made a lasting impact on the program.

Now battling multiple myeloma, Frese has shown McFarland the same kind of dedication her former manager showed her when she first arrived in College Park.
