Kylie Frizell | ASSISTANT COACH
Ursuline College basketball Head Coach Shannon Sword has announced the addition of Kylie Frizell to her coaching staff for the 2020-21 season.
Frizell replaces Stacie Cepin who spent three years with Ursuline before departing this spring to take the Athletic Director position at her alma mater Campbell High School near Youngstown.
Frizell spent the last two seasons at Ashland University as a Graduate Assistant after completing her playing career at Wheeling University.
In her two years at Ashland, Frizell was part of a staff that saw the team go 60-3 and win back-to-back GLIAC Regular Season and Tournament Championships. The Eagles qualified for the NCAA Tournament during both seasons and were set to be the number two seed in the Midwest Region before the tournament was canceled in March.
“I am thrilled to add Kylie to our staff. She understands what it takes to win at the D2 level as a player and coach. She will be able to help mentor our student-athletes toward excellence on the court, in the classroom, and most importantly - in life,” said Sword.
As a player at Wheeling, Frizell started 58 games with career totals of 884 points, 471 rebounds, 143 assists, 90 steals and shot 89 percent from the free throw line. She served as a team captain as a senior.
During her junior and senior seasons, the Cardinals went a combined 51-13 and qualified for back-to-back NCAA Tournaments. Wheeling won a first-round game in the 2015-16 NCAA Tournament Atlantic Regional by defeating West Chester before eventually falling to the number one seed Virginia Union.
Frizell graduated from Wheeling with a double major in Spanish and Communications.
