Spalding Sportsmanship award for the Maryville University softball team as announced by the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tuesday afternoon.

Frankenreiter played in 18 games this spring with a .283 batting average. She was tied for first on the team with six doubles and scored eight times before the season ended due to COVID-19 concerns. She also earned GLVC Academic All-Conference honors the past three years.
