Throughout every step of her life, Allison Pohlman was a Northern Iowa Panther.
She grew up 30 minutes from Cedar Falls in Wellsburg, Iowa, and starred as a player while donning the purple and gold, began her coaching career and worked her way up the coaching rungs with the Panthers. Pohlman holds two degrees from UNI, and she was inducted into the school's hall of fame in 2011.
So how does Pohlman end up as the associate head coach for UNI's fiercest rival?
"I had a very, very deep level of respect for Drake University," said Pohlman.
