SEATTLE, Wash.—The Pac-12 Conference has announced the 2022 class that will be inducted into the Hall of Honor, the Conference's most prestigious recognition of the greatest Pac-12 athletic contributors. Among the inductees, is Tina Frimpong Ellertson, a women's soccer alumni and now, assistant coach.

After her collegiate career, she played at the professional level for several years and five years on the U.S. Women's National Team. She also competed for Team USA in the 2007 World Cup.
Post her playing career, Frimpong Ellertson began coaching. She started as a U.S. Youth National Team coach before returning to her alma mater as an assistant coach for the Huskies. In her first season with UW, she helped them reach their sixth Sweet 16 appearance.
