Mandy just finished her 8th season as head coach of the Bulldogs and what a season it was!  Led by Division 2 player of the Year – Brooke Olson, UMD made it all the way to the national championship game for the first time in school history.  Mandy did not set out to become a basketball coach but is glad to find herself in that profession.  She started out at Division 3 – St. Mary’s in Winona where she directed that program to an amazing turnaround including the best single season record in school history.  She has continued that success in Duluth where her team has won 4 NSIC championships.  I really enjoyed hearing from Mandy about their exciting run to the Final Four this year and how special it was for their team.
