FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Nova Southeastern head coaches
Stephen Frazier-Wong and
Amanda Brown have been named CaptainU national coaches of the year for their sport's respective division.
CaptainU, an online recruiting network, honored one coach per sport in NCAA Division I II and III. Many of the selections went to coaches who led their team to NCAA titles and No. 1 rankings.
Brown, in her second season as head coach, has once again led the Sharks to a No. 1 national ranking. She helped bring the program's mark to four All-Americans by recruiting the nation's No. 2 player in
Linnea Johansson (Fr., Faxjo, Sweden) and helped make the Sharks' roster arguably the deepest it has ever been with the addition of
Rachel Lewis (Jr., Cardiff, Wales), who ended the season in the top-50. Brown then led her squad to six wins in 11 tournaments this year.
In his first season with NSU, Frazier-Wong took an already formidable team to a new level, guiding the Sharks to their first NCAA Division II National Championship. Frazier-Wong's team won both the varsity-4 and the varsity-8 races, topping No. 1 ranked Barry and seven-time national champions Western Washington in both events.
