Throughout her career, Rebekah VanDijk, women’s basketball senior center has never stopped working — finding a solution to every problem that comes her way, on and off the court.

The on-court achievements of student athletes can sometimes overshadow other aspects of their lives, and VanDijk said leaving a positive impact at UTA and in her community is something that is very important to her.

“I don’t want to be known as just a person who was good at basketball,” VanDijk said.

Head coach Krista Gerlich said VanDijk is a true Lady Maverick, and she embodies everything the program seeks to do.
