Despite winning only 10 games in her first season, Frese, the 2002 AP National Coach of the Year, has quickly returned Maryland to national prominence. As of the end of the 2012–13 season, Frese has guided Maryland to an overall record of 278–94 (.750) including nine NCAA tournament berths, nine consecutive 20-win seasons, six 25+ win seasons, four 30+ win seasons, four Elite Eights, the program's fourth NCAA Final Four appearance and the 2006 NCAA Women's Basketball National Championship. Maryland received its first-ever No. 1 preseason national ranking in 2006–07. The Terps remained in the top spot in the polls for 10-consecutive weeks. Frese led Maryland to the 2008–09 ACC regular season and 2009 ACC Tournament championships, as well as the 2012 ACC Tournament championship.
