Her wins total is a standard that still stands to this day. Off the ice, Fralick was involved in numerous campus and community endeavors such as volunteering with Special Olympics and the Big Brother/Big Sister program, serving as a Classics Department Student Advisory Board member and a peer tutor through the Academic Resource Center, and organizing bone marrow testing drives on campus through the Be the Match program.
