The Coaches
Nationally known for her top-notch recruiting classes, Marsha Frese enters her fourth season as head women's basketball coach at UMKC. During her first three seasons in Kansas City, Frese began to establish her vision for a championship culture while guiding the 'Roos toward excellence, both on the court and in the classroom. Under Frese's guidance, the 'Roos have established a standard of excellence for classroom performance as UMKC earned top honors in back-to-back years with the highest team GPA in all of Division-I women's college basketball for both the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons.
Rekha Patterson was named the eighth head coach in Southeast Missouri women's basketball history during a press conference at the Show Me Center on April 15, 2015. Patterson spent the past two seasons (2013-15) as the associate head coach at Ball State. Patterson is the first female head coach in the NCAA Division I era for Southeast and fourth female head coach in the 39-year history of the program.
