The Reese native led the Chippewas in both scoring and rebounds in the 2018-19 season, with 432 rebounds (13.5 per game) and 699 points (21.8 per game).
Frost finished her career with 1,519 rebounds, which set the career rebound record in the Mid-American Conference. The former record was set by Ohio's Caroline Mast at 1,223 in 1983-86.
As for Frost's new team, Costa won the North Division with a 26-4 record and defeated Alpo 146-144 on aggregate in the Finals.
Former guard Presley Hudson signed a deal with Polish team Politechnika Gdanska in the Energa Basket Liga Women. Hudson, a Holland, Michigan native, holds the all-time Chippewa scoring record with 2,289 points. She also holds the highest single-game point total as a sophomore with a 43-point performance against Ball State on Jan. 11, 2017.
