Honored a really good man last night. We miss you Frank ❤️🐧🤍🙏🏼
Honoring the life and legacy of Frank Frattaroli 🐧❤️ Frank was a long-time member of the Penguin Club and for 24 years, he also chaired the YSU Women's Basketball Golf Outing and generously catered countless meals for YSU athletic teams. Our program was honored to gift the Frattaroli family a framed jersey in Frank’s honor prior to last night's season opener — a symbol of our enduring appreciation for all he gave to YSU. #GoGuins

Westminster WBB is in GREAT hands! Congrats!🙌🏼❤️🏀
Life update: I’spent the past 7 years alongside Coach Scott and I will be forever grateful for my time with her. She has been everything someone should want in a mentor. With that being said I have stepped into the Head Coaching role! I am so excited for this new journey!!

After two years with a younger roster, the YSU women began official practices on Monday with a different vibe — this is an older, much more experienced Penguins team. vindy.com/sports/2026/09/old… – at Youngstown, OH
