Second-year graduate assistant Freda Glover has made a smooth transition to the coaching ranks since completing a successful playing career at Cheyney State (Penn.) College in 1981.
Glover was the starting center for Cheyney State and helped lead that team to national recognition. The Wolves finished with 25-1 and 26-3 records in Glover's last two seasons when she was the squad's third leading scorer and rebounder.
At Missouri, Glover assists with recruiting and works with the Tigers' defense and centers. She is an integral part of all aspects of the Mizzou program.
"It was exciting to come into this program last year and for our team to do so well on the national level. I'm looking forward to similar success in 1982-83," Glover said.
The Georgia native earned her B.S. degree in marketing and plans to graduate from Missouri's MBA program.
FROM FSU: Freda Glover enters her third season as an assistant coach for the Lady Seminoles as one who can take care of business both on the court and off.
While Glover, a former collegiate post player, can be found sweating it out on the floor with FSU posts and guards, she also assists to keep the Florida State operation running smooth in the office.
With a bachelor's degree in business administration from Cheyney and a master's degree in public administration from Missouri, Glover heads up the FSU scouting procedure and follows the academic progress of Lady Seminole athletes. She also assists Robyn Markey in the recruiting progress, as well as her on-court duties. In the off-season, she assists with the Marynell Meadors Basketball Camp.
During her four years as a player at Cheyney University in Cheyney, Pennsylvania, Glover started for the highly successful basketball team at center and consistently ranked among national scoring and rebounding leaders.
Following graduation, Glover continued her education at Missouri while beginning her coaching career. As an assistant coach at Missouri, the Lady Tigers won the Big 8 Conference in the 1982-83 season.
Last summer, Glover was the head coach of the Christian Sports Outreach International Team, a group of college-aged women which played a nine-game tour in Europe. Traveling through Belgium, Austria, Germany and Holland, Glover's squad finished with a 6-3 record.
A noted speaker, Glover is an active member in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
