| KRISTINA FRAHM INTERIM HEAD BOWLING COACH UMES LADY HAWKS |
PRINCESS ANNE, Maryland -- When she graduated from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore last spring, Kristina Frahm wanted to eventually get into coaching. What the former Hawk bowling standout didn't count on was how fast the opportunity came.
In January, Frahm's coach, Sharon Brummell -- who built the school's bowling program and captured three national titles during her tenure -- called her former player to say she'd be leaving mid-season to become an administrator at Georgetown University.
Brumell also floated this idea to the 22-year-old Illinois native, who is a first-year graduate student at Salisbury University: come back and serve as interim head coach. "She called me up one day, asking my thoughts about it and seeing if I wanted to do it," Brummell said. "And I thought about it for a few days and I chose to start coaching."
Brummell said she approached Frahm because Frahm always wanted to see how the program operated -- helping to fill out paperwork, going on recruiting trips.
