WHAT IS SOMETHING HARDLY ANYONE WOULD KNOW ABOUT YOU: I'm battling an addiction to solitaire. (She just can't seem to win).
WHAT YOU WANT TO BE REMEMBERED BY: That I had a smile on my face no matter what.
TEAM NOTES ON FR?HLICH: Off the court: CAN you say busy, busy, busy? She is always on her way to do something, either study for school, in class, doing charity work, playing with little kids, hugging someone, trying to CUDDLE with someone, or singing in Church, talking about her church, on her way to church , or trying to convince someone to go to church with her. How could I forget -- she is also the number one Backstreet Boys FAN. Just ask to see her family videos, lets just say her brother was the closest one that actually resembled a Backstreet boy, but Linda gave it a good try. She should have won a Grammy. But if not for her acting skills she also has quite the ability for dancing. Her DANCE moves in the BAHAMAS helped her win the pool-side contest. She beat everyone with her skills. ASK her to show you one of her gears.
MOST LIKELY TO BE SEEN ON THE COURT: Two dribbles left with a pull up and shouting German phrases that no one else but Viveca and Petra understand. She can also be seen grabbing a rebound, scoring the three, or most recently, the action that was viewed by all southern Nevada TV watchers, would be her reenacting of a fan in a Backstreet Boys' video: falling to the ground full of emotion (okay grabbing her head and crying after the win over SDSU for those who have no idea what I am talking about).
OTHER HIDDEN TALENTS: Besides acting, dancing, singing, she is a GREAT cook (she hasn't burnt down her apartment yet!)
MOST NOTABLE QUOTE: "Question, COACH MILLER, I have a question.", "Let's cuddle.", "Rebels on READY!", "GEH DOCH BITTE REIN, DU DOOFER BALL", "C'mon, Constance! C'mon, LADIES", "The thing is...", "Totally."

CORRECTION FROM LAST WEEK

Next week's 1-on-1: Viveca L?f
