Kim Hendricks came to Viterbo as an unrefined, 6'1" post player with a lot of potential. Four years later, she left as an Honorable-Mention All-American.   

"Kim improved as much as any player in my time at Viterbo," stated her coach, Bobbi Vandenberg. "She was instrumental in helping take our program to the next level."

Hendricks' hard work and improvement was rewarded her senior year when she averaged nearly 13 points and 8 rebounds per game. For her efforts, she was named First-Team All-Conference and also named to the Honorable-Mention All American Team--the first ever women's basketball player at Viterbo to receive this honor.

During Kim's senior year, the team finished 25-5 and gained the first national ranking (#23) in Viterbo women's basketball history.

One of Hendricks' most memorable moments came her senior year when she hit the game-winning shot at the buzzer to hand Grand View College-- who was ranked 4th in the nation--their only conference loss. 

During her career, Hendricks averaged over 10 points and 7 rebounds per game. She finished sixth on the all-time scoring list (1,134) and third on the all-time rebounding list (846).

Hendricks will be remembered for her quickness in the post and unique ability to steal the ball in the open court. Her abilities played a key role in her team's fast-breaking, full-court pressing style of basketball.

Perhaps Coach Vandenberg summed up Hendricks' career best when she said, "Kim came to Viterbo as a talented athlete, but left as an accomplished, highly-skilled basketball player."
