MSU hires Okemos native Robyn Fralick as women's basketball coach

Robyn Fralick is coming home.

Fralick, a native of Okemos, has been named the new head women's basketball coach at Michigan State, replacing Suzy Merchant, who stepped down earlier this month amid health problems.

Fralick comes from Bowling Green, where she led the program for five seasons. The Falcons made the postseason each of the last three seasons, including the WNIT this year, falling in the Final Four to Columbia, 77-70, on Wednesday. Fralick met with her team Friday afternoon, according to reports, before Michigan State made the announcement.

"My family and I are so grateful for this new journey," Fralick said in a statement.
